Healthy SNAP Evaluation

The Florida Department of Children and Families, Office of Economic Self Sufficiency, has issued Request for Information DCF RFI 2627 011 to gather market intelligence for a potential future procurement. The objective is to identify qualified vendors capable of analyzing Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program purchasing data to evaluate the impact of the Healthy SNAP waiver. This waiver restricts the use of funds for specific items such as soda, energy drinks, candy, and ultra-processed prepared desserts. The Department is seeking information on available data sources, analytical methodologies for measuring policy effects and product substitution over time, and technology solutions for item-level or category-level trend analysis across authorized retailers. This RFI is for planning purposes only and is not a solicitation for offers; therefore, no pricing information should be provided, and no contract award is currently being made. Interested vendors must submit their responses in PDF format by November 19, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. ET to Procurement Officer Alicia Reifinger. Responses must be organized into three specific tabs covering an introduction, detailed technical responses, and additional supplemental information. Vendors are required to describe their approach to data governance, privacy, and security, including the protection of personally identifiable information and adherence to encryption and disaster recovery standards. All submissions are considered public records under Florida law unless specific statutory exemptions are cited and confidential materials are properly labeled.
