The California Department of Public Health (CDPH) is soliciting proposals under RFP 25-10401 for Maintenance and Operations (M&O) support of the Surveillance and Public Health Information Reporting and Exchange (SaPHIRE) system. This critical system operates 24/7 to ingest and process electronic laboratory results and case reports for over 80 reportable conditions, interfacing with the CDPH Rhapsody Gateway and Snowflake data warehouse. The contract features a base term of five years with a maximum potential term of eight years. The selected contractor will be responsible for system maintenance, infrastructure support, data validation, normalization, and the management of data submitters to ensure timely and accurate public health surveillance.
The procurement process utilizes a point-scoring system totaling 6,000 points, weighted equally between non-cost (3,000 points) and cost (3,000 points) evaluations. Bidders must submit proposals in two separate volumes: Volume 1 for administrative and technical requirements and Volume 2 for cost, using a specific cost workbook. Key personnel requirements include a Senior Project Manager, Solution Architect, Scrum Master, Rhapsody Technical Lead, System Operations Lead, and Data Submitter Management Lead, all of whom must meet mandatory experience thresholds. Technical compliance is strictly governed by NIST SP 800-53, CA SIMM 5300, and HIPAA privacy rules, with specific requirements for F5 Silverline web application firewalls and comprehensive security and recovery planning.
Contract administration involves monthly invoicing in arrears, with payments contingent upon the approval of Deliverable Acceptance Documents by the IT Operations Manager or Product Owner. The contract is subject to the State of California's Prompt Payment Act and a budget contingency clause. Performance is primarily remote, though travel to CDPH locations may be required. Bidders may claim preferences for Small Business, Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE), and the Target Area Contract Preference Act (TACPA) by submitting the required certifications to the Department of General Services.
