5400022017 RFI

The South Carolina Department of Health & Human Services (SCDHHS) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) 5400022017 focused on obtaining market research for technology solutions related to incident management systems. Specifically, the RFI seeks information about secure web-based platforms capable of integrating claims data for incident detection and compliance with U.S. Department of Health and Human Services reporting requirements for beneficiary health and safety in group homes. The procurement is targeting technology vendors with expertise in developing comprehensive incident management solutions that can support multi-agency platforms and provide robust data access capabilities. Respondents are required to address nine specific information items, including system capabilities, customization potential, minimum system requirements, and existing state implementations. The RFI is not a formal proposal solicitation and does not represent a commitment to contract, but rather a market research initiative to gather detailed information about potential technological solutions. The response deadline is September 30, 2021, at 3:00 PM, with submissions to be made via email to fbo@scdhhs.gov. Cheryl Patrick serves as the procurement officer and can be contacted at 803-898-1012 for any clarification.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations were explicitly outlined in the RFI documentation. The procurement appears open to a wide range of technology vendors and solution providers with relevant incident management system expertise. Responses will be subject to disclosure under the South Carolina Freedom of Information Act, and vendors are advised to avoid submitting generic marketing materials. SCDHHS emphasizes that all costs associated with preparing and submitting information are the sole responsibility of the responding party. While no specific budget range or award value was mentioned, the RFI suggests the potential for future procurement of an incident management technology solution. Interested vendors are encouraged to provide comprehensive responses that directly address the nine specified information items, with flexibility to include additional relevant comments and considerations. Future updates and solicitation information will be posted at http://www.procurement.sc.gov for interested parties to monitor.
