RFI for Forensic Health Program Services

The Harris County Hospital District, operating as Harris Health System in Sam Houston, Texas, requires a vendor to provide forensic health program services. The agency is seeking a technological solution to legally document forensic examinations for court submission at the point of care using mobile tablet devices.

The scope of work covers data management, interoperability, and strict records retention. The system must assign unique, traceable identifiers for all file types and implement mandatory system hard-stops to enforce data completeness by preventing file closure or screen advancement until specific mandated fields are populated. Additionally, the agency requires the secure storage and maintenance of all items for a mandatory retention period of exactly fifty years. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations located entirely within the United States. The agency requires the selected vendor to perform all work offsite at the vendor's own office location. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is currently looking for proposals to determine the cost of these services. No key dates or deadlines are specified in the sourcing request.
