TSLAC Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

The Texas State Library and Archives Commission is soliciting proposals from qualified contractors to provide a comprehensive Employee Assistance Program for its employees and their family members. This initiative aims to support the mental health and overall well-being of staff and aligns with the agency’s mission to serve the interests of Texas and its residents. The services sought include unlimited consultation, the creation of EAP policies and procedures, around-the-clock access to a call center, case management, crisis debriefings, program orientation sessions for staff and supervisors, professional training, and a variety of promotional materials. Each employee and their family members must have access to a minimum of five short-term counseling sessions per issue, as well as referrals for long-term care when needed. Additional resources encompass legal and financial services, web-based assistance, and monthly utilization reporting, all delivered with strict confidentiality and a policy of non-discrimination. The contract covers multiple TSLAC locations in Austin and Liberty, Texas, including both the Headquarters and regional/state records centers. The initial contract term runs through August 31, 2026, with the possibility of four one-year renewals. Bidders must have at least two years of relevant EAP experience, employ properly certified counseling staff, and demonstrate sound financial standing. The estimated contract value is $100,000, and there is no requirement for a Historically Underutilized Business Subcontracting Plan due to the cost threshold. Responses must be submitted through the agency’s procurement portal, following the instructions outlined in the solicitation.
