The Agency hereby provides notice that it intends to enter into a sole source contract per S.C. Code Ann. §11-35-1560 with Vendor for the following supplies, services, information technology, or construction:

This is an extension of the original advertisement dated June 17, 2022, for Consulting Services-System Development Lifecycle for RMMIS Project Implementation. The original submittal date of 07/01/2022 is extended to 07/05/2022 to account for Federal holidays.  SCDHHS is undergoing a major information system transformation of the Medicaid Management Information System (MMIS). The Replacement-MMIS (RMMIS) Program is based on a modular approach that focuses on functional component flexibility and interoperability. In September 2020, SCDHHS executive leadership determined the need to contract with a third-party consultant to evaluate the current RMMIS project including vendor operational practices and Project Management methodology. InnTec was the selected Contractor via State Term Contract (STC), Third Party Consulting – Solicitation #5400015645, to provide consulting services, guidance, and recommendations related to each phase of the System Development Lifecycle (SDLC) to assist SCDHHS with the successful implementation of the RMMIS. InnTec has and continues to assess and evaluate the current RMMIS project and planned vendor activities, evaluate vendor practices and methods related to system design, development, testing, and implementation to ensure compliance with project management standards and industry best practices and assists SCDHHS with system acceptance through a review and evaluation of planned Organizational Change Management and Business Process Re-engineering tasks. InnTec provides reports outlining recommendations and guidance to improve these areas, as needed. Continuing these services is of paramount importance while SCDHHS competitively procures these services. SCDHHS has issued a Fixed Price Bid (5400023278) to procure these services. This sole source contract will continue for the reasons stated above until the new FPB is awarded and a Job Order is executed to provide these services. InnTec has served as the Third Party Consultant on the RMMIS since December 2020 under the Statewide Contract. SCDHHS is currently undergoing implementation of the Electronic Visits Verification (EVV) implementation and other contract activities for which InnTec is providing the services described above. They have the most familiarity with these projects and with the implementation demands of the EVV, changing vendors at this time would be detrimental to the successful implementation of this project.
