The Indiana Department of Health is seeking vendors to develop custom branded mobile applications for iOS and Android platforms, supporting their National Diabetes Prevention Program (DPP) and an accredited Diabetes Self-Management Education and Support (DSMES) program. The project includes features such as meal photo journaling, manual uploads of physical activity and weight, video lessons, PDF viewers, community forums, private messaging with coaches, and integration with Fitbit and Nokia digital scales and pedometers. Additionally, the scope encompasses at least two branded web pages, video embedding, user engagement reporting, and technical training for the department’s staff. The deliverables are scheduled for completion by November 1, 2025, with responses due by October 29, 2025. The procurement process emphasizes strict adherence to specifications, timely delivery, and compliance with applicable laws, with the contract awarded via a firm fixed-price basis, and prices are firm and non-negotiable. The contractual framework incorporates general terms and conditions, including compliance with all relevant federal, state, and local laws, and mandates that all goods and services conform to provided specifications. The contract is created through the issuance of a purchase order, with no explicit federal clauses referenced; instead, standard state procurement provisions govern, including requirements for proper packaging, labeling, and inspection at the State’s premises. Payment will be made in arrears via electronic funds transfer, with no advance payments unless permitted by Indiana law. The scope of work also specifies that the contractor warrants defect-free deliverables, and non-conforming goods or services may be rejected or returned at the contractor’s expense. The evaluation and award process primarily focus on price, with additional consideration given to compliance with specifications, MWBE participation, and statutory preferences. Bidders must submit their proposals by the deadline, with manual signatures required for responses exceeding $75,000, and should direct completed paperwork to the designated contact. The contract emphasizes adherence to ethical standards, employment verification, and MWBE participation, with detailed representations and certifications required to ensure compliance.
