Breastfeeding referral platform

The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) is issuing a Single Feasible Source (SFS) solicitation for an electronic breastfeeding referral platform serving Clark County and Jefferson City. The procurement seeks to establish a closed-loop electronic referral system that will coordinate communication between health and social service organizations to improve breastfeeding continuity of care. The platform's primary objective is to connect breastfeeding families with community resources and support services through an integrated electronic referral mechanism. The solicitation is open to all vendors and will be delivered Free On Board Destination with vendor-specified payment terms. The solicitation period runs from September 16, 2024, at 7:30 PM GMT to September 20, 2024, at 8:00 PM GMT, with Nathan Ridenhour serving as the primary contact at the DHSS office in Jefferson City. Vendors are responsible for ensuring timely submission of their responses, with technical support issues not considered an acceptable excuse for late submissions.

No specific set-aside designations, funding source details, or incumbent vendor information are provided in the solicitation documents. The contract does not specify any restrictions on organizational types that can respond, suggesting open competition among potential vendors. No estimated total contract value is disclosed, and the solicitation has been designated as having no line items. The platform appears to require technological integration capabilities to facilitate electronic referrals between various health and social service organizations. While specific technical requirements are not detailed, vendors should be prepared to demonstrate their ability to create a robust, user-friendly electronic referral system that can effectively connect breastfeeding families with local support resources. The lack of explicit financial parameters suggests that pricing and implementation details will be negotiated with the selected vendor.
