UpToDate Enterprise Subscription

The Florida Department of Health (DOH), Office of Information Technology, Bureau of Clinic Management and Informatics, is seeking a single-source enterprise subscription for UpToDate, a comprehensive clinical decision support resource for County Health Departments in Leon County. The procurement is a three-year subscription designed to provide healthcare providers with searchable, peer-reviewed medical specialty content that supports essential service delivery. The solicitation, tracking number EXP2631, was posted on April 9, 2025, with a proposal due date of May 1, 2025. The procurement follows Chapter 60A-1.045 of the Florida Administrative Code and specifically targets an enterprise-wide license for UpToDate, Inc.'s platform. Key objectives include enabling providers to access evidence-based, expert-contributed medical content with comprehensive treatment algorithms and a synthesized, searchable format. The DOH is seeking a solution that offers unique, high-quality clinical information not available through other resources, with an emphasis on supporting clinical decision-making across county health facilities.

The procurement appears to be a direct, single-source acquisition with no apparent set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation. UpToDate, Inc. is the sole identified vendor for this opportunity, with no mention of competitive bidding or alternative providers. The estimated total contract value is $375,000.00 for the three-year subscription period. No specific infrastructure integration requirements are explicitly stated, though the procurement suggests the platform will be implemented across Leon County's Department of Health clinical environments. The single-source justification emphasizes the unique qualities of the UpToDate platform, including its rigorous editorial process and comprehensive content, which differentiates it from potential alternative resources. The procurement will be approved by Allegra Small, the Purchasing Director, and follows specific procurement guidelines for single-source purchases in the state of Florida.
