Description
The Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology (ONC), is issuing this Request for Information (RFI) to identify interested and capable organizations and obtain industry feedback regarding operational and technical support for the administration of the Trusted Exchange Framework and Common Agreement (TEFCA). The contemplated services encompass three functional areas: Governing Documents and Caucus Facilitation: Develop, revise, and maintain the Common Agreement, standard operating procedures, and technical documents; facilitate stakeholder caucuses and workgroups; and administer public feedback and change management processes.
Onboarding, Operations, and Implementation: Support Qualified Health Information Network (QHIN) application review, onboarding, designation, compliance monitoring, and network operations; manage cybersecurity and incident response; and develop, operate, maintain, and update supporting infrastructure and interoperability testing capabilities. Investigations and Dispute Resolution: Investigate potential noncompliance, interpret TEFCA requirements, recommend remediation, and support dispute resolution processes.
Organizations may respond regarding one or more functional areas or combinations of functions. ONC welcomes recommendations concerning an integrated or separate acquisition approach, alternative contract vehicles and classifications, commercial capabilities, staffing, contract types, performance risks, and opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce costs. Respondents should provide capability information and annual rough order of magnitude (ROM) cost estimates, including assumptions and principal cost drivers, in accordance with the attached RFI and Planning Assumptions.
The preliminary classifications are NAICS 541519, PSC DD01, and GSA Multiple Award Schedule SINs 54151HEAL and 541611. Possession of both identified SINs is not required to respond. Responses are due December 11, 2026, at 12:00 PM Eastern Standard Time, by email to [email protected].
Use the subject line “RFI - Operational and Technical Support for TEFCA.” Clearly mark proprietary information. The Government will not provide individual acknowledgments of receipt or respond to follow-up inquiries requesting confirmation of receipt, the status of this RFI, or future acquisition plans.
Please do not submit inquiries of this nature. If the Government proceeds with a solicitation, it will be issued through the applicable GSA platform or SAM.gov, as appropriate. Interested parties are responsible for monitoring those platforms for future notices and opportunities.
Review all three attachments for the complete requirements and response instructions: the RFI, Draft Statement of Work, and Planning Assumptions. This RFI is solely for information and planning purposes and is not a solicitation. Responses are voluntary, are information only, and are not offers that can be accepted to form a binding contract.
The Government will not award a contract based on this RFI or pay for responses. Responding is not a prerequisite to participating in any future solicitation.
