RENEWAL* School-Based Health Services Program Administrator

The State of Illinois Department of Health and Family Services (HFS) is executing a renewal contract for a School-Based Health Services Program Administrator, with Public Consulting Group, LLC as the selected vendor. The contract, originally solicited under bid number 20-478HFS-MEDPR-B-11485 and renewed under 26-478HFS-MEDPR-B-49352, will span five years from November 1, 2025, to October 31, 2029. The primary responsibilities include implementing and administering a Random Moment Time Study (RMTS), preparing and submitting Medicaid Administrative Claims for Local Education Agencies (LEAs), facilitating inter-agency agreements, providing training and technical assistance, and collecting annual Direct Service Cost Settlement information. The vendor must demonstrate expertise in managing complex administrative functions related to the HFS School-Based Health Services Program. The contract renewal was approved by the State Procurement Officer on September 25, 2025, with a submission deadline for any responses set for October 10, 2025.

The contract includes a Business Enterprise Program (BEP) component, with two designated subcontractors: Next Generation Inc. and SLG Innovation Inc., each allocated 10% of the total contract value. The total contract renewal amount is $5,240,000.00, indicating a significant investment in school-based health service administration. The procurement appears to have specific restrictions or preferences for minority-owned or disadvantaged business enterprises through the BEP participation requirements. No additional specific qualifications or restrictions on responding organizations were explicitly detailed in the provided documentation. The procurement represents a continuation of existing services, suggesting the incumbent vendor (Public Consulting Group, LLC) has successfully performed the contract's requirements in previous periods and met the state's performance standards for school-based health services program administration.
