This is a Request for Proposal (RFP) document from the Indiana Department of Correction (IDOC), in coordination with the Indiana Department of Administration (IDOA), seeking a comprehensive health services vendor to serve approximately 25,000-28,000 incarcerated individuals, including up to 1,000 Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainees, across eighteen adult facilities, three juvenile facilities, and ten parole districts. The scope of services encompasses on-site primary care, urgent and emergent care, infectious disease management, infirmary care, dialysis, physical therapy, optometry, women's health, telemedicine, mental health and addiction recovery services, dental services, electronic health record management, off-site specialty care and hospital services, and re-entry and discharge planning. A mandatory pre-proposal conference is scheduled for August 26, 2026, with written questions due August 27, 2026 by 3:00 PM Eastern Time and responses posted by September 11, 2026. Proposal submissions are due October 5, 2026 at 3:00 PM Eastern Time. The contract term is three years from execution with two optional two-year renewal periods available for a potential total of seven years. Evaluation activities include proposal discussions scheduled for the week of November 2, oral presentations the week of November 16, Best and Final Offers the week of November 23, with award recommendation targeted for the week of November 30, 2026.

Pricing must be firm for 180 days from award and remain fixed throughout the initial three-year term with no inflation adjustments permitted. A 3% Indiana Veteran Owned Small Business (IVOSB) subcontractor participation goal applies, with respondents eligible to earn up to 5 points for meeting or exceeding the goal plus 1 bonus point; an additional 5 points are available under the Buy Indiana Initiative for qualifying Indiana companies. The incumbent vendor is Centurion Health of Indiana, LLC, under a contract expiring March 31, 2027. Outpatient medical claims are reimbursed at Medicare plus 4 percent, while inpatient hospital claims under HIP 2.0 Medicaid require the vendor to reimburse IDOC approximately 33 percent quarterly. The vendor assumes costs for dialysis equipment, laboratory and imaging services, emergency transportation beyond state capacity, and all staffing increases beyond the minimum schedule. Performance standards require 90 percent or better pass rates across 485 established measures; failure to meet this threshold results in a 30-day cure period with minimum reimbursement of $10,000 per deficiency per facility if not corrected. Financial responsibility bonds or letters of credit equal to 5 percent of the total contract price are required prior to execution, and respondents must provide audited financial statements for the last four fiscal years or a formal declaration with CPA-certified verification of available funds.
