About this file
The document is a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) for Systems Integration Services to support Montana's Medicaid modernization effort, known as the Montana Program for Automating and Transforming Healthcare (MPATH). The RFP seeks a Systems Integration Services Contractor to replace aging legacy components of the Montana Healthcare Programs enterprise, with proposals due by March 8, 2018, at 2:00 PM MDT. The project involves procuring a discrete module that aligns with federal regulations for mechanized claims processing and information retrieval systems, with an emphasis on creating interoperable, scalable, and reusable components that can be easily configured to support future healthcare program needs.
The solicitation emphasizes minimal customization of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software to maintain eligibility for enhanced federal funding, with specific guidelines on acceptable modifications. The RFP includes detailed requirements for offerors, such as responding to specific sections including Scope of Services, Offeror Qualifications, Cost Proposal, and various attachments like a Technology Matrix and Equal Pay for Montana Women Certification. Potential bidders must carefully review all documentation, including the Vendor Resources Handbook and Q&A entries, and adhere to specific deadlines for contract exceptions and submissions. The procurement is funded through federal matching rates, with careful attention to maintaining software adaptability and potential reuse by other states.

The Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) is releasing this RFP to procure a Systems Integration Services Contractor to support Montana’s Medicaid modernization effort, referred to as Montana’s Program for Automating and Transforming Healthcare (MPATH). The Systems Integration Services module is part of the overall MPATH program to replace aging legacy components of the Montana Healthcare Programs enterprise.
The intent for this RFP is for DPHHS to obtain a discrete module that aligns with the Final Rule for Mechanized Claims Processing and Information Retrieval Systems as described in 42 CFR 433.111. This module will support specific business objectives within the Montana Healthcare Programs enterprise that are detailed in this RFP, and will be required to have interoperability with other MPATH modules.
Consistent with recent definitions in the Final Rule for Mechanized Claims Processing and Information Retrieval Systems, DPHHS defines a module as a group of business processes that can be implemented through software, data and interoperable interfaces that are enabled through design principles in which functions of a complex system are partitioned into discrete, scalable, reusable components.
Each procured module must meet all of the automation and interfacing requirements included in this RFP.
In addition, DPHHS expects Offerors to present solutions that can be easily configured to achieve the outcomes described in this RFP and that will be flexible and adaptable enough to support Montana Healthcare Programs well into the future.
Regulations at 42 CFR § 433.112(c)(2) provide that COTS-related development costs at the enhanced match rate may only include the initial licensing fee and the minimum necessary to install, configure, and customize the COTS software and ensure that other state systems coordinate with the COTS software solution. When responding to a request for the 90 percent FFP rate for a COTS product, CMS will consider whether the configuration and customization of the product would be kept to minimal levels to achieve full functionality in the most cost- effective manner.
A condition for enhanced funding of COTS software is that customization of the product is minimal.
Examples of minimal customization include modification of database interactions to include additional required data elements, processing of state specific but necessary business rules, and modification of interfaces to allow interoperability with existing components or modules. If a COTS product is heavily customized, then the solution may become so unique to that state that other states are unable to reuse it, or that newer releases of that software cannot be easily integrated into the state’s system, resulting in a solution that no longer meets the Standards and Conditions criteria outlined in the most current version of
MECT.
