About this opportunity
The State of Tennessee's Department of Health is seeking an Electronic Consultation (eConsult) services provider through Request for Quotation (RFQ) 34360-07925, targeting primary care providers in the state's 56 local health departments. The procurement aims to establish a web-based platform that enables primary care providers to consult with board-certified specialists across multiple medical fields, including cardiology, dermatology, endocrinology, gastroenterology, general surgery, gynecology, otolaryngology, pain management, pulmonary, rheumatology, and wound care. The platform must be HIPAA compliant, provide consultation responses within 24 hours, allow specialists to address follow-up inquiries, and include features for document and image uploading, reporting, and patient documentation. Evaluation will be based on mandatory requirements, general qualifications, technical approach, and oral presentations, with a maximum possible score of 100 points. The solicitation was posted on April 7, 2025, with proposals due by May 8, 2025, and oral presentations for the top three ranked respondents scheduled for June 3-5, 2025. Respondents must demonstrate capabilities in serving medically underserved populations, maintaining secure web-based platforms, and recommending treatment options based on social determinants of health.
While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned, the contract is specifically designed to serve uninsured patients in Tennessee's Safety Net clinics, where approximately 9.7% of residents lack health insurance. The contract is structured for an initial 12-month term with the option of up to four 12-month renewals, creating a maximum potential contract period of 60 months. The state estimates a maximum liability of $3,564,000 for the initial 12-month term and $17,820,000 for the total potential contract period. All contractor-provided specialty providers must be Board Certified in the United States, which may limit potential respondents. The procurement will be managed through the state's Central Procurement Office, with interested vendors able to obtain full solicitation documents from the state's procurement website or by contacting Simeon Ayton, the Sourcing Account Specialist. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure that might require integration with the new eConsult platform.
