Clinical Clearance

The University of Massachusetts is seeking qualified vendors to provide an integrated “Clinical Clearance” solution for its Manning College of Nursing and Health Sciences. The solution must include national and Massachusetts‑specific background checks (including CORI and SORI), multi‑panel drug‑screening, comprehensive immunization‑record tracking, and a secure web portal for students and staff. Vendors must submit a firm‑fixed price covering all services, demonstrate compliance with HIPAA, FERPA, PCI‑DSS (if applicable), and provide the required insurance and certifications. The contract will run for an initial two‑year term with up to three one‑year extensions. Key points: • Provide background‑check, drug‑screening, and immunization‑tracking services for ~1,000 students and 150 faculty each year. • Deliver a secure, configurable SaaS platform with robust reporting, rule‑engine, and integration capabilities (e.g., with InPlace). • Meet strict data‑retention (≥ 7 years), privacy, and continuity requirements (no service outage June‑January).
