In accordance with Chapter 60A-1.045, Florida Administrative Code, the Department of Health Office of Information Technology, Bureau of Clinic Management and Informatics, requests authorization to purchase, as a single source, an enterprise subscription from UpToDate, Inc.

Intended Single Source:

UpToDate, Inc.

Estimated Dollar Amount:

$375,000.00

Justification for single source acquisition (what is necessary and unique about the product, services or source; steps taken to confirm unavailability of competition, as appropriate):

• UpToDate provides content that goes through a rigorous editorial process contributed by expert authors, editors, and peer reviewers from around the world. A few other products offer a similar treatment algorithm, but do not provide the additional clinical/expert opinions that fill in the gray areas of knowledge to provide further decision-making guidance to clinicians, including links to the evidence-based data sources, making this feature unique to this solution.

• There is no other resource that offers UpToDate’s breadth of content, synthesized information, and organized searchable format. UpToDate is a sole source provider of their enterprise subscription.

Approved By (names & titles, as appropriate, e.g., requestor, requestor management, information systems, budget, purchasing):

Allegra Small, Purchasing Director

Prospective vendors are requested to provide information regarding their ability to supply the commodities or contractual services described.
