Mission Objectives
Vendors are expected to utilize HHSC equipment
while performing the services so as to conserve HHSC
resources and minimize cost.
However, if a Vendor wishes to propose an alternative
imaging solution that would involve the use of other
equipment in lieu of HHSC equipment, HHSC may
consider such alternative if (i) it yields the best value
and is in the best interests of the State and (ii) the
Vendor’s proposal of an alternative solution fully
addresses all of HHSC’s requirements.
