DESCRIPTION

The issuing agency seeks a vendor to provide a scalable, cloud-based data analytics platform designed to support faster, data-driven decision-making. The platform is intended to replace legacy systems with modular, secure, and automated solutions that improve transparency, operational efficiency, and healthcare outcomes. The solution will support care delivery, policy evaluation, population health analysis, reporting accuracy, and compliance with federal and legislative mandates.

The scope includes cloud hosting and infrastructure services, an enterprise data warehouse, and a governed data-sharing platform for business and technical users. The platform must also provide a business intelligence and visualization layer with AI-assisted analytics and self-service dashboards. Required technical capabilities include support for data engineering, transformation, and analytics using languages such as Python, PySpark, and SQL; integration with existing state-procured SAS EG Desktop licenses or initial vendor-procured SAS licenses for transition continuity; version control, CI/CD automation, DevOps pipeline orchestration, and Infrastructure as Code implementation.

The contract term is expected to be five years. A pre-bid meeting is scheduled for May 14, 2026, and questions must be submitted by May 21, 2026.
