The State of Montana's Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS) has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) number DPHHS-RFP-2024-0494KH for data analytics services aimed at building organizational data and analytics capabilities. The primary objective is to develop a comprehensive roadmap for establishing an effective and sustainable data analytics office/function within the department. Key deliverables include conducting a first-time inventory of all departmental data assets, creating data collection and utilization plans, implementing staff training programs, and developing use case models for metrics related to independence/self-sufficiency and Medicaid population health. The proposal responses were due by January 31, 2024, at 2:00 PM MST, with the solicitation seeking a lump sum project cost. Evaluation criteria appear to include vendor qualifications, proposed approach, and potential bonus points, such as a 5% bonus for compliance with Executive Order No. 12-2016 on Equal Pay for Montana Women. The procurement utilizes commodity codes spanning health-related Medicaid analysis, computing services, and professional services.

The RFP includes specific requirements that may restrict potential bidders, such as mandatory certification of non-discrimination against firearms entities and trade associations, as mandated by recent Montana legislation (HB 356). While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed, the procurement suggests a preference for vendors with comprehensive healthcare and data analytics expertise. Payment terms are established at Net 30, and vendors must complete a series of prerequisites including reviewing standard terms and conditions, federal terms, and privacy agreements. Potential respondents are required to submit detailed documentation including company information, qualifications, client references, and potential confidential information disclosures. Although the exact budget range is not specified in the provided documentation, the RFP indicates this is a lump sum project with expectations of delivering a strategic roadmap and enhanced data analytics capabilities for the DPHHS.
