Notice of Special Procurement Amd #2 - Billing Services for OSPHL

The State of Oregon, specifically the Oregon Health Authority's Public Health Division and the Oregon State Public Health Laboratory (OSPHL), is pursuing a special procurement amendment for billing services currently provided by Public Consulting Group, Inc. (PCG). This procurement is a continuation of an existing contract, seeking to extend billing services for an additional two years through a special procurement process. The core services include submission of claims to third-party payers, management of electronic fund transfer payer enrollment processes, and comprehensive billing support critical to OSPHL operations. The amendment aims to ensure uninterrupted billing services that generate approximately $850,000 in annual claims and $650,000 in revenue. The procurement documents indicate the contract will support mission-critical public health testing capabilities, with the extension justified by the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and the need to avoid service disruption.

There are no specific set-aside designations mentioned in the procurement documents for this opportunity. The incumbent vendor is Public Consulting Group, Inc., which has been providing these services under the current contract. The total contract value will increase from the original amount to a maximum of $1,740,000, with the latest amendment adding $390,000 to the previous not-to-exceed amount of $1,350,000. The procurement is funded through OSPHL's operating budget and does not appear to have restrictions on vendor types or enterprise classifications. Interested parties should note that this is a notice of special procurement, and while not an active solicitation, affected persons have seven calendar days to file a protest regarding the procurement approval. The State Chief Procurement Officer must approve the special procurement before it can be implemented, highlighting the administrative oversight of this contract extension.
