Establish an interface between EHR system and medication packaging system

The Missouri Department of Mental Health (DMH) has issued a Single Feasible Source (SFS) solicitation, numbered SFS25000318, to establish an automated interface between its existing Electronic Medical Records (EMR) system and the Parata medication dispensing system. The procurement is specifically targeted at three DMH facilities: Fulton State Hospital, Northwest MO Psychiatric Rehabilitation Center, and Southeast Missouri Mental Health Center. The primary objective is to create a technical integration that allows seamless communication between the EMR and medication packaging systems, with Parata being the only vendor capable of providing this interface. The solicitation period runs from August 8, 2024, at 2:00:00 PM CDT to August 13, 2024, at 2:00:00 PM CDT, with responses due by the final date and time. Deliverables include a fully functional interface that enables data exchange between the two systems, with free on board (FOB) destination delivery terms. The technical point of contact for this solicitation is Corey Duemmel, who can be reached at the DMH office in Jefferson City, Missouri, with any questions or clarifications regarding the procurement.

The solicitation does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent organizations, though the single feasible source nature effectively limits potential vendors to Parata. No incumbent vendor information is provided, and the existing infrastructure consists of the DMH's current EMR system and Parata medication dispensing system at the three specified locations. The solicitation does not disclose an estimated total contract value or budget range, leaving financial terms to be specified by the vendor. While the procurement is technically open to all vendors, the technical requirement that only Parata can interface with their medication dispensing system effectively makes this a sole-source procurement. Vendors are advised that they are responsible for ensuring timely submission of their responses and must account for any potential technical support needs prior to the submission deadline. The State of Missouri's privacy policy will apply to this procurement, and no additional details about funding sources or requirements are provided in the solicitation documents.
