RFI.pdf

This is a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the California Department of Health Services soliciting vendor information for specialty care and diagnostic imaging services delivery to uninsured patients across Los Angeles County. The RFI seeks qualified vendors capable of providing quality specialty care and/or diagnostic imaging services through an uninsured health care program funded by LA County Measure ER. The solicitation targets vendors who can deliver essential community-based care to uninsured LA County residents. The document establishes a framework for gathering vendor capabilities and qualifications to support the Department's objective of expanding access to specialty and diagnostic services for the uninsured population served under the Measure ER funding mechanism.

The RFI process allows the Department of Health Services to evaluate vendor capacity, experience, and service delivery models without committing to immediate procurement. This information-gathering approach enables the department to understand available market solutions and vendor qualifications before issuing formal solicitations. Respondents are expected to provide detailed information regarding their service capabilities, experience serving uninsured populations, diagnostic imaging technology and expertise, specialty care offerings, geographic service coverage within LA County, and organizational capacity to scale services. The RFI serves as a preliminary assessment tool to identify potential partners and inform subsequent formal solicitation documents, allowing the department to tailor future requests for proposals based on vendor responses and demonstrated capabilities in serving the target population.
