How to respond to Pennsylvania DHS’s Medicaid Data Analytics RFI
What Pennsylvania DHS is seeking
The Pennsylvania Department of Human Services is gathering information about solutions that use Medicaid data to improve transparency in the state’s managed care system and support evidence-based rate-setting decisions. The request applies statewide in Pennsylvania.
This is a Request for Information, not a contract award notice. Vendors can use it to share relevant information about their solutions, but the notice does not announce a contract award.
Deadline and what to do before it
The RFI was published October 5, 2026. Responses are due November 13, 2026, at 12:00 PM Eastern Time.
Submit your response as the solicitation directs before the deadline. Check the solicitation documents for the specific submission instructions and allow time to complete them.
Who this opportunity may suit
This professional-services opportunity may suit firms with solutions or experience involving Medicaid data, managed care transparency, or evidence-based rate setting. The notice is statewide in scope.
How to access and respond
Click “View original source” to open the solicitation on Pennsylvania eMarketplace. No login is needed to view it. Review the page details and download the solicitation documents.
Follow the submission method stated in the solicitation. Many Pennsylvania bids use the PA Supplier Portal, which offers free vendor registration, or request submission to a listed contact; confirm which method this RFI specifies.
Prepare a clear, useful response
Explain how your solution uses Medicaid data to improve managed care transparency and inform rate-setting decisions. Connect each capability to the Department’s stated goals, and distinguish available features from ideas that would need further development.
Keep claims specific and supportable. Address the questions and requested information in the solicitation documents, use clear examples where relevant, and check the final response against the stated submission instructions before sending it.
