Description
RFP SSAU-2025-001 Reproductive Healthcare Logistics
The City of Austin (City) is seeking applications in response to this Request for Proposals (RFP) from qualified social service providers (Offerors) to provide or facilitate logistical support services for Austin residents seeking abortion care where allowed by law.
Note that Austin Public Health does not fund primary care medical services or medical detox services. Offerors may not be abortion providers or “affiliates” of “abortion providers”, as those terms are defined by Texas Health and Safety Code Chapter 245 and Texas Government Code Chapter 2272 (Prohibited Transactions). Offerors should seek and consult with their own legal counsel to ensure compliance with the law. All Offerors must acknowledge and represent that they have read and understood Texas Government Code Chapter 2272 (Prohibited Transactions) and that the Offeror is not and will not become an abortion provider or an affiliate of an abortion provider during the term of any agreement with the City. If during the term of the agreement the successful Offeror becomes an abortion provider or an affiliate of an abortion provider as defined by law, the agreement will terminate automatically. The City reserves the right to reject an Offeror based on the Offeror’s ineligibility under Texas Government Code Chapter 2272 (Prohibited Transactions), whether based on the Offeror’s acknowledgement or the City’s independent determination that the Offeror is an abortion provider or an affiliate of an abortion provider. The City’s determination is in its sole discretion and not subject to appeal. Applications from abortion providers and/or affiliates of abortion providers will be considered non-responsive and will not be evaluated or considered for award.Competition Website: https://www.austintexas.gov/article/rfp-ssau-2025-001-reproductive-healthcare-logistics
