Billing and Data Collection Services

The government authority located in Missouri requires a contractor to provide billing and data collection services for a one-year contract period. The buyer requires the contractor to maintain an electronic web-based data system for collecting information to submit claims, notify the agency of required data, pay all associated filing fees, and execute necessary documents to operate as a third-party billing agency. If the contractor uses technology such as augmented reality tools that connect to the agency's IT network, the agency must assess and approve those tools. Services apply to the year prior to contract award, even for earlier service dates. The buyer limits eligibility to US organizations and specifies that work will occur offsite. Bidders must submit proposals digitally through email or online. The buyer seeks budget proposals and evaluates tools connecting to its IT network, but the text omits specific evaluation criteria and key dates.
