Advancing Health Equity for Populations with or at Risk for Diabetes

The State of Delaware’s Department of Health and Social Services is seeking a professional‑services vendor to design and implement a strategic, equity‑focused diabetes prevention and management program for priority populations. The effort is organized into several “strategies” (e.g., DSMES expansion, Medicaid coverage advocacy, team‑based care, National DPP enrollment, e‑referral system) and vendors may propose to address any subset of these. The contract is a five‑year fixed‑fee award with optional one‑year extensions, milestone‑based payments, and a requirement to keep pricing fixed through July 31 2028. The vendor must provide technical assistance, data collection, monthly usage reporting, and comply with HIPAA/Part 2, DTI cloud‑service standards, and extensive insurance and background‑check requirements. • Scope includes expanding diabetes self‑management education, improving coverage for DSMES and National DPP, building e‑referral pathways, and supporting team‑based clinical care. • Deliverables: monthly progress reports, quarterly subcontractor diversity reports, data‑management via Smartsheet, and adherence to CDC/ADA outcome metrics. • Mandatory compliance: BAA, insurance minimums ($1 M/$3 M), background checks, U.S.‑only data handling, and strict reporting timelines.
