Overview
| Description and Specifications: |
| The Illinois Department of Public Health (DPH) is giving notice of intent to enter into a sole source contract with CGN & Associates to purchase maintenance and support services for the continued implementation of the I-CARE (Illinois Comprehensive Automated Immunization Registry Exchange) web-based immunization registry system. Illinois Department of Public Health, Division of Communicable Diseases, Immunization Group has funded the development of the system that replaced its PC-based TOTS (Tracking Our Toddlers Shots) immunization registry application. This new system supports health-care providers across Illinois with an accessible, secure method of tracking the immunizations of Illinois citizens to ensure that they receive proper vaccinations in a timely fashion. It is designed to simplify immunization information reporting for health-care providers and facilitate rapid capture, storage and distribution of data in a secure browser-based environment. This procurement provides a contractual developer to maintain the application and provide enhancements based upon feedback from the end-user community.
Contract start date is an estimate. Actual start date will be no sooner than last signature on contract or execution, whichever occurs last. |
Key Information
| Notice Type: | Sole Economically Feasible Source |
| Published: | 09/09/2008 |
| Notice Expiration Date: | 09/23/2008 |
| Sole Source Only Justification: | The current vendor, CGN & Associates, Inc., was selected through an RFP process that started in February of 2005, to take over the development of the I-CARE (Illinois Comprehensive Automated Immunization Registry Exchange) state-wide immunization registry system. The contract began in January of 2006. Significant progress has been made on the implementation of the registry since this contract began. It was released into a pilot/production environment in August of 2007. The end-users are primarily health-care providers such as local health departments, physicians and hospitals. These end-users give feedback for application enhancement and functionality to better meet their needs. The continuing project goal is to enhance and create system modules that meet health-care provider requests and requirements to feasibly use the system. Considering that use of a state-wide immunization registry is strictly voluntary in the state of Illinois, enhancing I-CARE will improve voluntary user acceptance and participation in the registry. This will increase the state's immunization coverage levels and significantly reduce costs associated with state-funded immunizations. Since this vendor has been on the project since its inception, there is no other vendor that has the domain knowledge necessary to complete the implementation and customization of enhancements, and to transition support to new permanent headcount for the project.
Any challenge to this Notice must be submitted in writing within 14 days of the published date and to the person identified below. Late challenges will not be considered.

The documentation must indicate a price equal to or lower than the amount shown in this Notice. |
