18BEHSHIXRAPRFQ:RFQ MH HIXUser Acceptance Test Regression Automation Project

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS) has issued a Request for Quotes (RFQ) to engage a qualified contractor to transform and implement an automated regression test suite for the MassHealth Health Insurance Exchange (HIX) User Acceptance Testing (UAT) team. The objective is to optimize the MH HIX UAT test capability by moving from a manual regression test method to an automated testing practice. The selected contractor will be required to provide a strategic plan and services to design, develop, execute, maintain, and train the MH HIX UAT team on the new regression automation framework. The RFQ outlines four distinct project phases, with specific deliverables and milestones, to be completed over an initial one-year contract term with an optional one-year extension. Payment will be on a fixed-fee basis according to the defined milestone schedule.

This RFQ is restricted to contractors on the Commonwealth's ITS53 statewide contract for IT project services. EOHHS reserves the right to accept or reject any proposals, negotiate with any or all qualified bidders, and amend the RFQ as necessary. While EOHHS indicated a preference to extend the procurement to non-ITS53 vendors to access a broader pool of qualified vendors, governing regulations do not allow for the participation of non-approved ITS53 vendors in this RFQ bid response. The procurement has been previously terminated and re-posted, but no additional details on pricing, set asides, incumbents, funding requirements, or other salient information are provided.
