How to bid on AGE Next-Generation Aging Services Info. System for EOHHS
What the agency is buying and why it matters
The Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS), on behalf of the Executive Office of Aging & Independence (AGE), is seeking information about modern, integrated systems for aging services operations. They plan to replace their current Senior Information Management System (SIMS) platform. This is an opportunity for vendors to inform AGE about available solutions and capabilities, which will help shape a future procurement strategy.
This Request for Information (RFI) is important because it allows your company to influence the direction of a significant state-level technology upgrade before a formal bid is released. Your input can help AGE understand the market and vendor capabilities.
Key dates and what happens at the deadline
This RFI was published on May 26, 2026. The deadline for submitting information is August 21, 2026, at 4:00 PM ET. All submissions must be received by this time.
Since this is an RFI, the deadline is for submitting information, not a binding proposal. The agency will use the collected information to assess solutions and plan its future procurement strategy for replacing the Senior Information Management System.
