Immunization Information System RFP

The State of Ohio, through the Department of Administrative Services and the Department of Health, is soliciting proposals for a Contractor to implement a modern, commercial off-the-shelf Immunization Information System (IIS). The objective is to replace the current system with a scalable, configurable solution that aligns with CDC IIS Functional Standards and supports high-quality data capture and interoperability via APIs. The scope of work encompasses system implementation, configuration, data conversion, and ongoing support, with a target timeline for go-live of 12 months or less. Key technical requirements include integration with the IZGateway and the national Vaccine Tracking System, as well as strict adherence to state IT policies regarding website standardization, digital accessibility (WCAG 2.1 Level AA), and the use of artificial intelligence. The contract utilizes a hybrid pricing structure consisting of firm fixed prices for development and implementation deliverables, annual fees for cloud services and maintenance through fiscal year 2037, and a resource rate card for additional hourly work. Award selection is based on the highest total score, combining technical capabilities, cost, and Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) participation. The selected Contractor must ensure all project team members have at least 36 months of relevant experience and that key personnel have completed at least one comparable public health project. Security is a critical component, requiring compliance with HIPAA, FedRAMP Moderate standards, and CJIS security policies. Performance is monitored through a Quality Management Plan and a 90-day production release performance period.
