The contract opportunity includes local preference points for businesses certified as Resident Businesses within Santa Fe municipal limits, with additional points for those utilizing local subcontractors. All assessments and documentation must comply with HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2 regulations, ensuring strict confidentiality and privacy standards. Proposers are required to submit their proposals electronically through the OpenGov platform.
