The Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP) issued a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for address validation software and related services. The RFQ was canceled on October 28, 2016. The goal of the RFQ was to solicit proposals for an on-premise address validation software solution to ensure accurate and deliverable addresses enter the IEHP database and maintain the integrity of their contact information over time. The solution was required to validate and verify addresses at the point of registration, provide address validation tools, and include geo-coding to translate addresses into latitude and longitude coordinates.
• The RFQ included a list of requirements for the integration of the address validation software, including implementation, testing, training, and documentation.
• The RFQ was issued to solicit responses from qualified vendors to provide the required services.
• The IEHP preferred to have an on-going relationship with the chosen vendor.
• The character and operating principles of the successful vendor were important to IEHP.
