Pinellas County is seeking proposals from qualified evaluation firms to conduct a comprehensive assessment of its indigent healthcare programs, specifically the Pinellas County Health Program and the Healthcare for the Homeless Program. The procurement is a Request for Proposal (RFP) focusing on evaluating healthcare services for uninsured and underinsured residents, with three primary objectives: analyzing access to comprehensive primary care for residents at various poverty levels, assessing the effectiveness and operational efficiency of services, and reviewing the county's financial investment and funding opportunities. The selected firm will be required to produce a detailed report with an executive summary, evaluation methodology, benchmarking, program objective analysis, identification of service gaps, cost-effectiveness assessment, and evidence-based recommendations for future service delivery strategies. Key deliverables include objective data and actionable recommendations to inform county leadership's policy and funding decisions. The RFP was released on September 10, 2025, with questions due by September 25, 2025, and proposals due by October 2, 2025, at 3:00 pm. The contract term is set for six months with no renewal options, and the evaluation will cover healthcare services including primary care, specialty care, mental health care, substance use treatment, dental care, vision services, and pharmacy benefits. While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the procurement documents, the RFP includes several compliance requirements that potential vendors must meet. Contractors will need to complete additional documentation including a Human Trafficking Affidavit, HIPAA Business Associate Agreement, Common Carrier Attestation, and a Foreign Countries of Concern Affidavit. The project budget indicates approximately $10 million annually for the Pinellas County Health Program, with additional funding for the Healthcare for the Homeless program. Potential respondents must demonstrate expertise in healthcare program evaluation, with a focus on serving populations at 100%, 200%, and 300% of the Federal Poverty Level. The county expects the evaluation to provide comprehensive insights into the current healthcare service delivery model, with a strong emphasis on creating sustainable, efficient, and effective healthcare support for medically indigent residents. The procurement suggests a preference for firms with extensive experience in healthcare systems analysis, community health assessments, and data-driven policy recommendations.
