Common use of Multiple Responses Clause in Contracts

Multiple Responses. A Respondent may only submit one (1) proposal as a prime contractor. If a Respondent submits more than one (1) proposal, HHSC may reject one or more of the submissions. This requirement does not limit a subcontractor’s ability to collaborate with one (1) or more Respondents submitting proposals. A Respondent may not entice or require a subcontractor to enter into an exclusive subcontract for the purpose of this procurement. Any subcontract entered into by a Respondent with a third party to meet a requirement of this RFP must not include any provision that would prevent or bar that subcontractor from entering into a comparable contractual relationship with another Respondent submitting a proposal under this procurement. This prohibition against exclusive subcontracts does not apply to professional services that solely pertain to development of the proposal, including gathering of competitive intelligence.
