BPCSS PMP Data Collection IFB

This Invitation for Bid (IFB) is being issued by the Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) for prescription data collection services for the state's Prescription Monitoring Program (PMP). The selected vendor will be responsible for receiving and compiling controlled substance and other drug dispensing data from retail and mail order pharmacies in Illinois. Key deliverables include assisting in the transition from the current data collector, creating pharmacy logins, performing data entry and validation, providing reporting and compliance monitoring, and maintaining a data repository. The initial contract term is 4 years, with an option to renew for an additional 4-year term, for a maximum total term of 10 years. Pricing will be the primary evaluation criterion, and the contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

There is a small business set-aside for this procurement, but no veteran-owned small business goal. Vendors must submit a completed Business Enterprise Program (BEP) Utilization Plan, identifying the BEP and/or Veteran Business Program (VBP) certified subcontractors they will utilize to meet the contract-specific goal. Vendors must also complete a Vendor Disclosure form, providing information on their business, ownership, certifications, conflicts of interest, and financial disclosures. The IFB does not specify any incumbent vendor or current contract value, but the vendor must meet certain security requirements, including providing SOC 2 reports or conducting internal security assessments.
