Event Overview:

Solicitation #: HHS0012461

Texas’ “Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), for and on behalf of the Department of State Health Services (DSHS), is soliciting offers from qualified Respondent(s) to provide a web based Commercialoff-the-Shelf (COTS) application for an Electronic Ordering and Reporting System (EOR System) and associated services as described in this RFO”

“DSHS has identified the need for a comprehensive automated EOR System for the Laboratory. As such, the Scope of Work (SOW) outlines the EOR System requirements. Contractor subject matter expertise is required to configure and implement the EOR System.

The Laboratory serves the State of Texas by performing a variety of analyses on approximately 1.5 million samples a year in support of public health, including Newborn Screening (NBS), Texas Health Steps (THSteps) Medicaid Program, Microbiological Services, Emergency Preparedness, and Environmental Chemistry. More than 8,000 entities submit these samples. These Submitters include: hospitals, clinics, doctors’ offices, state agencies, federal agencies, veterinarians, and citizens. This testing is supported by four (4) LIMS applications for tracking and testing samples and reporting results. The LIMS are LabWare (Microbiology and Emergency Preparedness), SpecimenGate (NBS), Orchard Enterprise Lab (THSteps), and LabWorks (Environmental Chemistry).

The data for the submitted samples are primarily entered manually into the Laboratory LIMS applications and reported via physical mail or fax. The Laboratory also receives supplies orders provided by certain testing programs either by physical mail or fax. The Laboratory has limited capabilities for receiving and reporting results electronically. The Laboratory desires to develop a comprehensive system for sending and receiving data electronically, including ordering tests and reporting results.”
