About this file

This solicitation attachment document governs the response requirements for a Request for Proposal from the State of Minnesota to provide prescription eyeglasses, including lenses, frames, and associated materials to Minnesota Health Care Programs (MHCP) participants, including Medical Assistance (MA) and MinnesotaCare recipients, as well as other state agencies and participants in Minnesota's Cooperative Purchasing Venture (CPV) program. The contract, designated as Release G-165(5), will commence on September 1, 2026, or upon contract execution, whichever is later, with an initial term through August 31, 2027, or 12 months after execution. The actual program start date for order receipt and invoicing begins November 1, 2026. The contract includes options to extend up to 48 months upon mutual agreement. The solicitation requires responses through the SWIFT Supplier Portal by specified deadlines and includes detailed usage data for both Minnesota and Wisconsin for fiscal years 2024 and 2025, with Minnesota usage ranging from minimal to over 22,000 units annually across various procedure codes, and Wisconsin usage similarly distributed across multiple codes.

Responders must complete and submit the Exhibit D Eyeglass Price Schedule with all line items priced to be considered for award, and failure to use the required form or provide pricing may result in rejection. The solicitation mandates compliance with multiple certifications and declarations, including responder declarations affirming accurate information, non-collusion, and organizational conflict of interest disclosures. For contracts exceeding $100,000, responders must obtain a Workforce Certificate from the Minnesota Department of Human Rights, with an Equal Pay Certificate required for contracts over $500,000. Responders must identify exceptions to state terms and conditions on the designated form, provide contact information for contract and purchase order management, specify prompt pay discount terms, and submit delivery timeframes. Attachment G provides a comprehensive list of third-party vision insurance plans covering approximately 4,605 to 35,318 enrollees across various carriers, indicating the scope of beneficiary populations to be served through the contract.

ATTACHMENT A: RESPONDER DECLARATIONS

The undersigned certifies, to the best of his or her knowledge and belief, that:

A. Response Contents. The information provided is true, correct, and reliable for purposes of evaluation for potential contract award. The submission of inaccurate or misleading information may be grounds for disqualification from the award as well as subject the Responder to suspension or debarment proceedings as well as other remedies available by law

B. Authorized Signature. This Declaration is signed by the appropriate person(s), with the authority to contractually bind the Responder, as required by applicable articles, bylaws, resolutions, minutes, and ordinances.

C. Non-Collusion Certification.

1. The Proposal has been arrived at by the Responder independently and has been submitted without collusion and without any agreement, understanding or planned common course of action with any other vendor designed to limit fair or open competition; and

2. The contents of the Response have not been communicated by the Responder or its employees or agents to any person not an employee or agent of the Responder and will not be communicated to any other individual prior to the due date and time of this Solicitation. Any evidence of collusion among Responders in any form designed to defeat competitive responses will be reported to the Minnesota Attorney General for investigation and appropriate action.

D. Organizational Conflicts of Interest. To the best of Responder’s knowledge and belief, and except as otherwise disclosed, there are no relevant facts or circumstances which could give rise to an organizational conflict of interest.

An organizational conflict of interest exists when, because of existing or planned activities or because of relationships with other persons,

1. a vendor is unable or potentially unable to render impartial assistance or advice to the State;

2. the vendor’s objectivity in performing the contract work is or might be otherwise impaired; or

3. the vendor has an unfair competitive advantage.

If after award, an organizational conflict of interest is discovered, an immediate and full disclosure in writing must be made to the State’s Chief Procurement Officer which must include a description of the action which the contractor has taken or proposes to take to avoid or mitigate such conflicts. If an organizational conflict of interest is determined to exist, the State may, at its discretion, cancel the contract. In the event the Contractor was aware of an organizational conflict of interest prior to the award of the contract and did not disclose the conflict to OSP, the State may terminate the contract for default. Organizational conflicts of interest terms apply to any subcontractors for this work.

E. Certification Regarding Lobbying. For State of Minnesota Contracts and Grants over $100,000, the undersigned certifies, to the best of his or her knowledge and belief that:

1. No Federal appropriated funds have been paid or will be paid, by or on behalf of the undersigned, to any person for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of any agency, a member of Congress, an officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a Member of Congress in connection with the awarding of any Federal contract, the making of any Federal grant, the making of any Federal loan, the entering into of any cooperative agreement, and the extension, continuation, renewal, amendment, or modification of any Federal contract, grant, loan, or cooperative agreement.

2. If any funds other than Federal appropriated funds have been paid or will be paid to any person for influencing or attempting to influence an officer or employee of any agency, a Member of Congress, an officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a Member of Congress in connection with this Federal contract, grant, loan, or cooperative agreement, the undersigned shall complete and submit Standard Form-LLL, Disclosure Form to Report Lobbying in accordance with its instructions.

3. The undersigned shall require that the language of this certification be included in the award documents for all sub-awards at all tiers (including subcontracts, sub-grants, and contracts under grants, loans and cooperative agreements) and that all sub-recipients shall certify and disclose accordingly.

This certification is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when this transaction was made or entered into and is a prerequisite for making or entering into this transaction imposed by 31 U.S.C. 1352.

Any person who fails to file the required certification shall be subject to a civil penalty of not less than $10,000 and not more than $100,000 for each such failure.

F. Copyrighted Material Waiver. By signing its Response, the Responder certifies that it has obtained all necessary approvals for the reproduction and distribution of the contents of its response.

G. Diverse Spend Reporting. The Sample Contract contains a clause for Diverse Spend Reporting. When this clause applies, Contractor will be required to register in a free portal to report diverse spend.
