About this file
This document is an amendment and prebid conference summary for the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) Pharmacy Solution Request for Proposal (RFP), identified by BidBuy Reference Number 24-444DHS-MIS44-B-39685. The prebid conference was held on February 29, 2024, with attendees from both BEP (Business Enterprise Program) certified vendors like Alert IT Solutions, Logicoy, Inc., and MSF&W Consulting, and non-BEP certified vendors including RedSail Technologies, SoftWriters, Inc., and Fusion Health.
The RFP solicits a pharmacy solution with a specific new mandatory requirement: the contractor must provide a system capable of billing a dispensing fee to Medicare D payer once during any 30-day period for medications dispensed continuously over a month for eligible Medicare D beneficiaries. Proposals are due on April 18, 2024, at 10:00 am local time. A significant procedural change involves BEP goal fulfillment, which now requires vendors to be registered in specific NIGP (National Institute of Governmental Purchasing) Codes. Technical and administrative questions should be directed to Jean Sandstrom, the Agency Procurement Officer, while BEP-related inquiries should be addressed to Alicia Gray or Harry Reinhard from IDHS.
