Radiology Picture Archiving & Communization System - Clinical Services *RFI*

The Colorado Department of Corrections (CDOC) Clinical Services Unit is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) for a new Radiology Picture Archiving & Communication System to replace their current end-of-life Merge eFilm system. This procurement opportunity, specific to Garfield County, aims to address critical technological risks including potential data loss and lack of vendor support. The RFI seeks information from manufacturers and companies specializing in radiological imaging storage and communication systems, with a primary objective of developing a comprehensive scope of work for a future solicitation. The current procurement stage involves gathering market intelligence to inform the subsequent formal procurement process. Key deliverables will likely include a robust imaging system capable of secure data storage, efficient workflow management, and improved access to radiological images. The RFI was posted on April 24, 2025, with responses due by May 8, 2025, giving potential vendors approximately two weeks to submit their detailed system capabilities and technical specifications.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly mentioned in the opportunity description, the RFI suggests a competitive procurement process open to qualified vendors with proven radiological imaging system expertise. The procurement appears focused on technical capabilities rather than specific enterprise classifications. The current system, Merge eFilm, represents the incumbent technology that will require comprehensive migration and integration planning. Though no specific budget range is provided, the complexity of replacing a critical clinical imaging system implies a potentially significant investment. The ultimate goal is to select a solution that provides enhanced data security, improved clinical workflow, and comprehensive image management capabilities for the Colorado Department of Corrections' Clinical Services Unit. Vendors responding to this RFI should be prepared to demonstrate advanced technological capabilities, system reliability, data migration strategies, and long-term support infrastructure for their proposed radiological imaging solutions.
