Hattiesburg Clinic, a multi-specialty physician practice in Mississippi, is soliciting proposals under solicitation number HC-RTG-2026-IRE for a hosted, subscription-based Isolated Recovery Environment (IRE) service. The primary objective is to establish a secure, immutable, and logically isolated recovery environment for the clinic's Epic electronic health record system to ensure data restoration capabilities in the event that production environments, backups, and identity systems are compromised. The scope of work includes the provision of all necessary software, hosting, storage, and labor to deliver a clean-room recovery environment with a dedicated management plane separate from the clinic's production Active Directory and Microsoft 365 tenant. All data and backups must reside within the United States, and the solution must utilize AES-256 encryption or equivalent, preferably with FIPS 140-2/140-3 validated modules. The contract features an initial twelve-month term starting from service acceptance, with two optional twelve-month renewal years. Award selection is based on a weighted evaluation: 40% for the technical solution, 30% for cost, 20% for vendor experience and healthcare references, and 10% for the implementation approach. Bidders must provide a signed and notarized Non-Collusion Affidavit, maintain active registration in SAM.gov, and provide a SOC 2 Type II report or equivalent. Payment is contingent upon the availability of grant funds and requires detailed invoicing to support reimbursement. The procurement process is managed by Jerry Robinson and requires a comprehensive proposal package including a technical response, implementation timeline, and a completed pricing form.
