The Alabama Board of Physical Therapy (ABPT) is seeking proposals for an annual database management system agreement for fiscal year 2026, focusing on licensing database management for physical therapists and physical therapist assistants. The procurement opportunity involves licensing database system hosting and maintenance to support regulatory functions and services for licensees and the public. The contract aims to provide a comprehensive technological solution that enables efficient tracking, management, and regulatory oversight of professional licensing for physical therapy practitioners in Alabama. Key deliverables include a robust database management system capable of handling licensee information, processing renewals, tracking credentials, and supporting public access to verified professional information. The solicitation was posted on September 29, 2025, with proposals due by October 2, 2025, indicating a very tight submission timeline of approximately three days. Potential vendors must demonstrate technical capabilities in database management, security protocols, and regulatory compliance specific to professional licensing systems. While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided information, the contract appears to be open to technology vendors with specialized expertise in licensing database management systems. The procurement seems focused on finding a vendor with demonstrated experience in healthcare professional licensing platforms and the ability to integrate with existing state regulatory infrastructure. No incumbent vendor is mentioned, which suggests this could be a new procurement or potential system replacement. The scope implies a need for a sophisticated, secure database management solution that can handle complex regulatory tracking and reporting requirements. Although no specific budget range is provided, the annual agreement nature and specialized requirements suggest a significant investment in technological infrastructure and ongoing maintenance. Vendors will likely need to demonstrate comprehensive system capabilities, data security measures, and alignment with Alabama's specific regulatory frameworks for physical therapy licensing.
