The RFP sought organizations capable of providing comprehensive wellbeing solutions to HCPS employees, with proposals due by October 2, 2025.

The award recommendation is for Vitality Group International, Inc., which scored 77.81 points in Phase I evaluation and 79.37 points in Phase II evaluation, placing it among the highest-scoring proposers. Four vendors were deemed non-responsible for failing to meet Scope of Work requirements: ActiveHealth Management, Inc., Attentive LLC, Higginbotham Public Sector, and MediKeeper.
