Statewide Data Spine

The State of West Virginia Department of Health has canceled ARFP RHT2600000004, a statewide Data Spine system RFP originally due September 24, 2026, and will instead procure the needed services through an incumbent contractor's existing agreement with the Department of Health.

The Department completed technical and cost scoring of all submitted proposals but determined that cancellation serves the state's financial interest because the competitive winner maintains an existing contract with the Department that was previously competitively bid by the predecessor agency, the former Department of Health and Human Resources. The existing contract already delivers the services and solutions requested through the RFP. Consequently, the Department will execute the Data Spine services procurement under the incumbent's existing agreement rather than award a new contract from this RFP cycle.

A separate ARFP 0506 2700000000001 for a Statewide Data Spine system was also posted on September 23, 2026, with proposals due September 24, 2026. This procurement is classified as an Agency Master Agreement and references a manufacturer specification model number 43232314. Proposals are to be submitted to the Kanawha Valley Building, Health and Human Resources Department, at 300 Capitol Street, 7th Floor, Charleston, West Virginia. Bryan D. Rosen, buyer, is the point of contact at (304) 558-0953 or bryan.d.rosen@wv.gov. The relationship between the canceled RHT RFP and this concurrent ARFP 0506 solicitation is not clarified in the source material.
