AMS PH3 Ad_083126.pdf

This is an Addendum to a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by the Arizona Department of Administration (ADOA) for the Arizona Medicaid System (AMS) Phase 3 project. The addendum addresses clarifications and modifications to the original solicitation for a comprehensive modernization and enhancement of Arizona's Medicaid management information system. The project encompasses system design, development, implementation, testing, and ongoing support services. Responses to the RFP were originally due on a specified date, with the state evaluating proposals based on technical merit, cost, implementation timeline, and vendor qualifications. Site visits and pre-proposal meetings were conducted to allow bidders to understand system requirements and existing infrastructure. The contract will be awarded to a single vendor and is anticipated to span multiple years, with potential renewal options based on performance and continued state needs.

The solicitation involves significant funding from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) with federal matching contributions required from the state. Pricing is to be submitted on a time-and-materials or fixed-price basis as specified in the RFP instructions, with detailed cost breakdowns required for each project phase. The addendum clarifies previously ambiguous requirements, addresses technical specifications, and provides additional information regarding system integration, data migration, and security compliance standards. No incumbent contractor information is specified in this addendum. The project is critical to Arizona's administration of Medicaid benefits and requires compliance with federal regulations and interoperability standards for healthcare information systems.
