RFP 2025-17 Health Program Consulting Pool

This contract establishes a three‑year, $6.6 million consulting pool for Covered California to draw on for a variety of health‑program services. The pool is divided into six service areas (actuarial, benefits, pharmaceutical, dental, marketplace development, and health‑equity transformation) and awards multiple contractors per area, resulting in 14 distinct vendors being selected. Work will be issued on a project‑by‑project basis via individual work orders, with rates submitted as fully‑loaded hourly rates and no overtime or travel reimbursement. The contract may be extended for up to two additional years at the agency’s discretion. • Total ceiling $6.6 M for the base three‑year term (covers all awards). • Multiple‑award IDIQ structure – up to 14 vendors across six service areas. • Pricing based on hourly rates; no lump‑sum or FFP amounts. • Optional two‑year extension, making the maximum term five years. • Small‑business and DVBE preferences provide scoring bonuses but do not constitute a set‑aside.
