Nebraska DHHS seeks a qualified vendor to design, build, implement, certify, and operate a new Medicaid Drug Rebate (MDR) system that will replace an aging legacy application. The contract encompasses full‑life‑cycle services—including functional and technical design, data conversion, system testing, training, go‑live support, ongoing operations, and CMS certification—delivered on a five‑year fixed‑price term with an optional three‑year renewal. Key deliverables include automated invoice generation, dispute resolution, quarterly reporting, a self‑service portal for manufacturers, and strict performance guarantees tied to daily penalties.
• Scope covers functional modules (invoice management, accounting, customer support, staffing, turnover, project management) and technical requirements (architecture, data security, NIST‑based controls, disaster‑recovery, integration).
• Vendor must achieve CMS certification within six months of go‑live and provide 48 months of post‑implementation operations and support.
• Fixed‑price implementation fees are locked for the first five years; penalties apply for missed deadlines or performance shortfalls.
