About this file
This document is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) file issued by the Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS) regarding a Request for Information (RFI) for Durable Medical Equipment (DME) and Oxygen and Respiratory Therapy Equipment and Supplies. The RFI, identified by document number 25EHSPMDMEO2SUPP, was originally issued on May 16, 2025, with this Q&A document released on June 9, 2025. The procurement seeks to identify potential exclusive and/or preferred wholesale suppliers across ten product categories, including Continuous Glucose Monitors, CPAP/BiPAP Equipment, Enteral and Parenteral Products, and others. Suppliers are invited to bid on individual categories separately, with electronic submissions required by June 13, 2025, at 4:00 PM Eastern Time to EOHHS-Procurement@mass.gov.
The RFI aims to assess market feasibility and create a future Request for Responses (RFR) that maximizes value for the Commonwealth and MassHealth members. The procurement targets MassHealth's fee-for-service providers, which serve over two million low-income Massachusetts residents, including 40% of children and 60% of residents with disabilities. Potential suppliers can propose either exclusive supplier status (one supplier per service category) or preferred supplier arrangements with multiple vendors. Suppliers are expected to provide comprehensive wholesale pricing information through an attached Excel spreadsheet, detailing current and proposed unit prices for various HCPCS codes. The ultimate goal is to reduce per-unit costs, establish potential supplier arrangements, and provide administrative benefits to DME and OXY providers.
