Description
The Maryland Department of Health (MDH) Center for Immunization is issuing an RFI to gather information about commercially available, cloud‑based Commercial‑Off‑The‑Shelf (COTS) Immunization Information Systems (IIS). The goal is to understand market capabilities, architecture options, and vendor experience before a future formal procurement. MDH seeks a modern, modular, cloud‑ready IIS that meets CDC standards, improves data quality, supports rapid vaccine updates, and offers robust interoperability (HL7 v2.9+, FHIR, REST APIs). Vendors are asked to provide detailed product, implementation, and support information but **must not submit pricing**.
• Issue date = August 10 2026; response due = August 31 2026 (2 PM EST).
• No pre‑bid meeting or site visit; questions due = August 20 2026 (12 PM EST).
• Current system (ImmuNet) is legacy, monolithic, and vendor‑dependent; MDH wants a scalable, cloud‑native solution with self‑service configuration for vaccine schedules and CDSi updates.
• Required information includes company background, product capabilities, technical architecture, security/compliance, integration methods, deployment models (SaaS, hosted, or on‑prem), licensing/price structure (no numbers), support model, and implementation methodology.
• Responses must be submitted via email to the Procurement Officer (Calvin T. Johnson) in Word or searchable PDF, with a transmittal letter, response document (≤20 pages), and optional proprietary information notice.
• This RFI is informational only; it does not guarantee a future solicitation or award.
