Cancer Registry

The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare is seeking proposals from qualified contractors to operate and maintain the statewide cancer registry, a critical tool for cancer surveillance, public health monitoring, research, and compliance with national reporting standards. The contract, with a value estimated between $500,000 and $2,000,000, is expected to commence on January 1, 2026, and will last for approximately five years. The contractor will be responsible for ensuring the timely and accurate collection, reporting, and management of cancer incidence and survival data, adhering to both state and federal regulations. The project emphasizes maintaining the existing registry infrastructure and relationships, with potential future upgrades and expanded data sharing capabilities. The RFP outlines detailed submission instructions, evaluation criteria, and mandatory requirements, including a scheduled virtual pre-proposal conference and a deadline for questions by September 17, 2025. Funding from the Department will only partially cover the costs associated with registry operations, necessitating the contractor to identify additional funding sources. The contract aims to support ongoing cancer data reporting efforts, with a focus on data accuracy, system stability, and compliance, while also accommodating future enhancements to the registry system and data sharing processes.
