RFP 88018 Addendum 1.docx

This is Addendum #1 to RFP 27-88018, issued by the Indiana Department of Administration on behalf of the Indiana Department of Health (IDOH), soliciting proposals for Data Collections Services for the Indiana Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (IN-BRFSS). The addendum modifies the original RFP by updating the Attachment D Cost Proposal Template to include optional years 2-5 in the BASE BRFSS PRICING tab and revising the contract term from six years to five years total at the State's option. The original solicitation established a pre-proposal conference on September 30, 2026, with written questions due by October 7, 2026, responses posted by October 14, 2026, and proposals due October 28, 2026, by 3:00 PM ET. The selected contractor will administer approximately 10,000 completed interviews annually using Computer-Assisted Telephone Interviewing (CATI) with dual-frame random digit dialing and deliver CDC core questionnaires with state-added questions in English and Spanish across Indiana's 10 administrative districts.

The pricing structure is outlined in the revised Cost Proposal Template, with evaluation based on 50 points for management and quality, 30 points for cost (normalized to lowest), 5 points for Buy Indiana Initiative participation, and up to 6 points for Indiana Veteran Owned Small Business (IVOSB) subcontractor commitment. The State has established a 3% IVOSB participation goal. Proposals must remain firm for 180 days from award. Key performance requirements include achieving at least 95% annual survey completion targets, delivering 95% of monthly and quarterly deliverables by established due dates, and maintaining data submission accuracy with no material errors. All deliverables, work products, data, datasets, reports, codebooks, programming scripts, and survey instruments become exclusive property of IDOH. Solutions must comply with HIPAA, WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility standards, and Indiana Office of Technology RAMP security policy, with preference for cloud-based hosting in the State's AWS or Azure Government tenant.
