Electronic Directly Observed Therapy Software and Training

The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for Electronic Directly Observed Therapy (eDOT) software and training, targeting Local Public Health Agencies (LPHAs) in Missouri, specifically in Clark County and Jefferson City. The procurement seeks a comprehensive eDOT solution to help tuberculosis patients successfully complete their treatment on a voluntary basis. The solicitation requires one application license with updates and security patches, seven participant licenses, three reviewer licenses, four training sessions for DHSS and LPHA staff, and one technical assistance package. Key objectives include providing software that enables remote monitoring and support for TB treatment adherence. The bid period runs from October 17, 2017, to November 1, 2017, with bids due by 4:00 PM CDT on November 1, 2017. Vendors must submit responses either electronically through the MissouriBUYS system or as hard copies to the Department of Health and Senior Services in Jefferson City, and are required to complete and upload IFB exhibits 1 through 3 for a comprehensive evaluation.

The solicitation does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation, indicating the opportunity is open to all vendors. No incumbent vendor information is provided, and there are no explicit mentions of preference for disadvantaged enterprises or small businesses. The documents do not disclose a specific estimated total contract value or budget range, though the pricing structure allows vendors to submit proposals for individual line items and an additional "Other Costs" category. The contract is initially for one year, with the option to renew for up to four additional one-year terms. Funding will come from the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services budget, but the specific allocation is not detailed. The procurement emphasizes vendor responsibility for timely submission, proper documentation, and meeting the technical requirements for the eDOT software and associated services.
