The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) is seeking proposals for a Picture Archiving and Communications System (PACS) with an integrated Speech Recognition Dictation System and an Image Sharing Solution. The procurement is open to all interested vendors, with two options available - Option A for a PACS with Integrated Speech Recognition, and Option B for an Image Sharing Solution. The selected vendor will be required to provide a web-based, multi-modality imaging system with specific clinical features, interface and platform capabilities, licensing and support, disaster recovery, and system integration and training. Responses are due by November 18, 2016, and the anticipated contract start date is July 1, 2017, with an initial term of 5 years and two 1-year renewal options.

The procurement will utilize the Commonwealth's Supplier Diversity Program Plan, and vendors must partner with a certified Veteran, Minority, or Woman-owned Business Enterprise and commit a percentage of the contract total to that certified vendor as part of the 10% evaluation criteria. The incumbent vendors are not specified, but the contract value is anticipated to be over $150,000. Vendors must maintain an active COMMBUYS seller account, provide pricing on a fee per study basis, and comply with the Commonwealth's prompt payment discount and electronic funds transfer initiatives.
