    The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has amended a combined solicitation for a web-based Software as a Service (SaaS) application to support the ordering and distribution of medical countermeasures (MCMs) and public health resources.

    The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is issuing a request for proposals (RFP) to maintain and enhance a web-based SaaS application for managing medical countermeasures (MCMs) and public health resources. This initiative is vital for enabling efficient ordering and distribution during public health emergencies, including recent responses to COVID-19 and MonkeyPox outbreaks. The RFP invites small businesses to develop a compliant system leveraging Oracle Cloud Infrastructure that can accommodate over 80,000 users and provide real-time inventory management while adhering to regulatory standards. Proposals must be submitted by September 12, 2024. The contract will be a firm-fixed-price and time & materials hybrid model, covering project management, system development, analytics, and surge support. The selected contractor will support the ASPR by providing technical expertise, project management, and system enhancements. Further, the document outlines security requirements, personnel designations, and a transition out plan for future contract completions.

    The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) seeks approval for a sole-source procurement of Technical and Operational Support Services for the Health Partner Ordering Portal (HPOP), primarily utilizing Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI). This platform facilitates the electronic ordering and distribution of Medical Countermeasures (MCMs) during public health emergencies. The request covers a base contract period from September 30, 2024, to September 29, 2025, with three additional options extending through 2028. The justification for no competition hinges on Oracle being the only source capable of maintaining and supporting its proprietary system, which is crucial for timely MCM delivery. Transitioning to a new vendor would yield significant delays in service and increase costs substantially. A Request for Information (RFI) yielded no responses from Oracle vendors, further validating the need for a single-source approach. The procurement will be set aside for small businesses authorized to sell Oracle products, with ongoing market research planned to explore future competition. The urgency for maintaining service continuity during ongoing health emergencies underlines the critical nature of this procurement effort, safeguarding the government's ability to respond effectively in crises.
