Florida Health Price Finder

The Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA) is seeking a vendor to develop and maintain the Florida Health Price Finder, a consumer-focused website designed to provide transparency in healthcare services. The primary objective is to create an interactive platform that allows Florida consumers to research and compare healthcare service costs, quality of care, and pricing across different providers. The solicitation, RFP 002-25/26, requires the development of a comprehensive All Payers Claims Database (APCD) that will collect and analyze healthcare claims data from state group insurance plans, Medicaid managed care, and voluntary commercial plans. The technical proposal will be evaluated across ten Submission Requirement Components, with a maximum of 255 total points allocated across areas such as organizational structure, vendor staffing, claims data collection, project management, website functionality, security, and disaster recovery. The contract is set to run from April 1, 2026, through March 31, 2028, with potential renewals for up to three additional years. Vendors must submit their proposals by December 31, 2025, and the website must be mobile-responsive, ADA compliant, and provide robust data security with annual information security audits.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Vendors must complete multiple certification documents, including a Drug-Free Workplace certification, Vendor Certification Form (PUR 7801), and Required Certifications and Statements, which cover compliance with various state and federal regulations. The estimated total contract amount is $1,200,000, with a performance bond requirement of 10% of the annual contract amount. Liquidated damages are specified for non-compliance with contract performance standards, ranging from $100 to $5,000 per occurrence. The cost proposal template suggests a quarterly-based deliverable structure across website hosting, maintenance, data collection, data storage, and data dissemination services. Vendors must demonstrate capabilities in healthcare data analysis, website design, and the ability to provide a comprehensive solution that supports research into care quality and cost reduction. The successful vendor will be responsible for collecting and managing claims data from various healthcare insurers while ensuring data privacy and providing annual reporting on healthcare price variations.
