E-Prescribe Datasets License Maintenance

The Florida Department of Health (DOH), specifically the Office of Information Technology's Bureau of Clinic Management and Informatics, is seeking a single-source procurement for a dataset license maintenance from First Databank, Inc. located in Leon County. The primary objective is to purchase a three-year license enabling file exchange capabilities between the Department's certified Electronic Health Record (EHR) system and Change Healthcare's prescribing and pharmacy dispensing systems. This procurement will support essential services within County Health Departments (CHD) and is critical for maintaining comprehensive health information exchange. The procurement follows Chapter 60A-1.045 of the Florida Administrative Code and is designated as a single-source acquisition due to First Databank's proprietary MedKnowledge database being uniquely compatible with DOH electronic systems. The solicitation was posted on April 18, 2025, with a final response deadline of May 9, 2025, allowing potential vendors approximately three weeks to review and respond to the opportunity.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types, focusing instead on technical compatibility and system integration requirements. First Databank, Inc. is positioned as the sole potential vendor due to the unique specifications of their database and its compatibility with existing DOH infrastructure. The estimated total dollar value for this dataset license maintenance is $120,000.00 for the three-year term. The procurement is specifically targeting a technology solution that enables successful data transfer between DOH and Change Healthcare, with an emphasis on maintaining the technological ecosystem that supports health information management. This acquisition is fundamentally crucial to the DOH's mission of protecting, promoting, and improving health for all people in Florida, making it a strategically important technology procurement that supports broader public health objectives.
