MNIT/MDH Follow Along Program Screening System

The Minnesota Department of Information Technology Services, in collaboration with the Minnesota Department of Health’s Children and Youth with Special Health Needs section, is soliciting proposals for an integrated developmental screening data collection and management system to support the state's Follow Along Program. The system must utilize licensed versions of the Ages & Stages Questionnaires®-3 (ASQ®-3) and ASQ®:SE-2, adhering strictly to the administration guidelines outlined in their respective user’s guides. The procurement encompasses both the software solution and the necessary implementation services, with the possibility of future enhancements or module additions through subsequent contract amendments. The state prefers a commercially available, configurable off-the-shelf solution rather than a custom-built system, aiming for a solution that can be tailored to meet specific program needs without developing from scratch. The contract, valued between $500,000 and $2,000,000, is part of a formal solicitation process with a response deadline of January 24, 2025. The selected vendor will be responsible for providing a cost proposal, which must be submitted separately and include detailed pricing for professional services, licensing, hosting options, and other expenses, with clear instructions to ensure transparency and consistency. The project aims to establish a reliable, scalable system capable of supporting developmental screening efforts across Minnesota, with the potential for ongoing work such as system enhancements. The primary point of contact for this procurement is Robin Wegener, a state employee, and interested vendors can access additional information through the provided online portal.
