Kentucky Analytics Platform Solution (KAPS)

The Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services (CHFS) is seeking a comprehensive Kentucky Analytics Platform Solution (KAPS) through RFP 758 2500000171, aimed at developing a sophisticated data analytics and integration platform for state health and human services agencies. The solution must support real-time and near real-time data refresh, reporting, visualizations, trending, and predictive analytics across multiple state departments including Medicaid, Public Health, and Behavioral Health. Key deliverables include developing a Decision Support System/Data Warehouse, creating enterprise-wide performance dashboards, implementing cloud-based tools, and establishing robust data governance capabilities. The platform must integrate over 60 diverse data sources, comply with stringent security requirements including HIPAA, NIST, and FedRAMP standards, and support multi-lingual interfaces and comprehensive reporting tools. Vendors must provide detailed implementation plans, technical documentation, training materials, and continuous system support. The RFP was posted on March 31, 2025, with proposals due by July 28, 2025, and the contract structured with an initial term and options for up to eight years of engagement.

The procurement does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The platform will integrate existing systems like the Kentucky Hospital Association data, Kentucky Health Information Exchange (KHIE), Medicaid Management Information Solution (MMIS), and Integrated Eligibility and Enrollment Solution (kynect). While specific budget ranges are not directly stated, the cost proposal form suggests a comprehensive pricing structure covering implementation, operations, maintenance, hardware, software, licensing, and optional value-added services. The solution must support multiple state agencies, including the Department of Medicaid Services, Department of Public Health, Department of Behavioral Health, and Developmental and Intellectual Disabilities, with a focus on creating an interoperable, secure, and scalable analytics infrastructure. Vendors will be evaluated on their ability to meet mandatory technical requirements, security standards, data integration capabilities, and alignment with the state's Quality Health Information (QHI) Framework, with potential for significant multi-year contract value given the platform's extensive scope and complexity.
