School Health Services Support

The Colorado Department of Health Care Policy and Financing (HCPF) is soliciting proposals for School Health Services (SHS) Support under solicitation RFP-UHAA-2026000142. The primary objective of this contract is the administration and maintenance of an annual cost reporting online system, which includes managing system content, performing audits, and calculating financial settlements for SHS providers. The scope requires adherence to CMS approved methodology and the Medicaid State Plan, with a strong emphasis on accessibility standards, including WCAG Level AA and ADA compliance. The project involves a start-up phase followed by an operational period anticipated to begin July 1, 2027. Key deliverables include the development of the online system across test and production environments, the creation of an initial SHS manual, and the execution of an annual audit process and plan. Proposals are due by November 2, 2026, at 3:00 PM MT and must be submitted via the designated Box link rather than the VSS portal. The evaluation process is qualitative, focusing on risk assessment, prior performance, and mandatory qualification requirements scored on a met/not met basis. The contract includes various federal provisions, such as the Davis-Bacon Act for construction contracts over $2,000 and Equal Employment Opportunity requirements. Administrative requirements include monthly invoicing by the 15th business day of the following month, annual SAM.gov registration updates, and the submission of a W-9 and financial strength certification from the offeror's CFO. Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSB) must provide specific certification from the U.S. Department of Veteran's Affairs to qualify.
