FY27 Naphsis EVVE

The Alabama Medicaid Agency is soliciting a sole-source contract with NAPHSIS to provide Electronic Verification of Vital Events (EVVE) services for real-time access to the national vital statistics database to verify births, deaths, and vital records data, with responses due October 9, 2026. This is a sole-source procurement — NAPHSIS is identified as the exclusive provider.

The scope is provision of EVVE platform access enabling the Alabama Medicaid Agency to query and verify vital events data in real time from the national database. Suppliers must register in Alabama Buys and submit responses electronically through that platform.

The contract has a ceiling of $25,000 total cost with a maximum term of five years from the effective date, and may be renewed annually by written agreement. Price escalation requests during contract performance cannot exceed five percent of the annual contract cost, with total costs capped at $25,000.

Suppliers must comply with Alabama requirements including sales tax exemption documentation, E-Verify program enrollment verification for employees in Alabama, the Beason-Hammon Alabama Taxpayer and Citizen Protection Act, and certification of full compliance with state and local sales tax registration and remittance obligations. Foreign corporations must register with the Alabama Secretary of State prior to transacting business in the state. Pricing is subject to cost realism and price reasonableness analysis at the discretion of the Chief Procurement Officer. Disputes are resolved through negotiation and non-binding alternative dispute resolution in Montgomery, Alabama, and the contract is governed solely by Alabama law.
