About this file
This document is an amendment to an External Quality Review Organization (EQRO) services contract issued by the Mississippi Division of Medicaid. Amendment #5 adds an as-needed deliverable for Readiness Review support under the existing EQRO contract (RFP #20260731/RFx #3160008164), effective September 3, 2026. The amendment introduces a new cost proposal worksheet correction that vendors must incorporate into their submissions to remain responsive. The contract encompasses ten federally defined protocols for external quality review activities of Mississippi's Medicaid managed care program (MississippiCAN) and CHIP, with services to be delivered for three managed care organizations over a five-year contract term consisting of an initial three-year period plus two optional one-year extensions.
The cost proposal worksheet requires offerors to submit pricing for monthly operations costs, three-year contract costs, optional year costs, and as-needed deliverables including Protocol 7 annual reports, Protocol 9 focus studies (estimated two per contract year), Protocol 10 Quality Rating System reports (estimated two per contract year), and Readiness Reviews (not to exceed three maximum). All pricing must be firm and fixed-rate with no cost adjustments. Vendors must submit complete, accurate, and current cost or pricing data and certify their non-debarment status, independent price determination, absence of contingent fee arrangements, and compliance with all federal independence standards under 42 CFR Part 438, Subpart E. Any additional charges or line items beyond those specified in the proposal form will result in rejection as non-responsive. All proposals must be electronically submitted and vendors are responsible for ensuring their submissions reflect all corrections outlined in the amendment.
