Marin County Health and Human Services is accepting proposals for RFP-HHS-2026-16, a unified enterprise Electronic Health Record procurement intended to replace disconnected legacy systems and support physical health, Behavioral Health and Recovery Services, detention health, public health, social services, CalAIM workflows, population-health analytics, interoperability, medication management, and revenue-cycle operations.
Deadline: September 24, 2026 at 3:00 PM. Marin County does not state a time zone on the controlling opportunity page. Proposals may be submitted through Bid Express or by the physical/electronic-copy method specified in the solicitation. The anticipated contract period is 60 months, tentatively April 1, 2027 through March 31, 2032.
Funding: The County states that the project will be supported through a combination of grant funding and organizational resources, potentially including California DHCS Providing Access and Transforming Health (PATH) funding and County funds. The RFP does not state a maximum contract value; proposers must provide a detailed five-year total-cost proposal covering implementation, subscriptions or licensing, support, third-party costs, and optional components.
Key bidder requirements: the proposed solution must be a comprehensive, ONC-certified modern relational EHR architecture and must address California-specific health and justice compliance, FHIR interoperability, behavioral-health/SUD data controls, detention-health workflows, eMAR/pharmacy functions, Medi-Cal revenue cycle, analytics, data access, and external CBO scaling. Vendors must be legally authorized to do business in California, have resources to serve Marin County, maintain required permits/certifications, demonstrate fiscal and outcome-data capacity, and satisfy substantial IT insurance requirements. The proposal must include required County attachments, resumes of proposed personnel, at least three references for similar services, prior-work samples, a proposed software agreement, and letters of commitment for any formal subcontracting/collaboration.
N9+ Fit Score: 5/100. The procurement is for a full enterprise EHR, not remote physical-exam equipment. N9+ could only be relevant as a truthful ancillary integration or clinical workflow component if supported by the selected prime EHR architecture; it is not a substitute for the mandatory ONC-certified enterprise platform.
Direct-vendor review: Dr. Miltie and QC Healthcare should not be advanced as the prime bidder absent verified possession of the required ONC-certified enterprise EHR product, comparable deployments, references, insurance, and implementation capabilities. A technology-subcontract role could be considered only if a qualified prime requests an N9+-related integration and all solicitation rules are satisfied.
