Description
The University is seeking information from vendors that can provide a statewide, non‑emergency medical transportation (NEMT) service for pregnant participants in the SOS MATERNITY research network. The service must support scheduling by clinical staff, handle pre‑emptive and same‑day ride requests, and operate across 14 (potentially expanding) clinical sites throughout Michigan. No price or contract award is guaranteed; the RFI is purely for market research before a possible future solicitation.
• Scope: Transport ~7,500 participants (first year) → up to ~20 rides each (≈150,000 rides annually), scaling to ~20,000 participants (≈400,000 rides) statewide.
• Requirements: Staff‑only scheduling portal, ability to serve patients without smartphones, pre‑emptive and same‑day booking, endpoint changes only by clinical navigators.
• Geographic coverage: All of Michigan, covering listed hospitals and health systems.
• Submission: Complete Schedule C (Information Schedule) and Schedule D (Summary Questionnaire) by Nov 29, 2023, 2 PM EST; max 25‑page narrative, ≤20 MB file.
• No budget disclosed; vendors must cover their own response costs.
