Readiness Assessment Advisory Service

CalOptima requires a vendor to provide readiness assessment and specialized advisory support to validate its current standing against CMS-0057 regulatory objectives. The selected vendor will create an actionable roadmap to achieve full operational readiness by January 1, 2027, establish a distributed accountability framework, maintain a single point of accountability for deliverables, and provide regular status reports. Only United States onshore organizations are eligible to bid. Applicants must submit proposals digitally via email or online by October 21, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time, with any questions submitted as soon as possible to Naomi Santos. Proposals must include organizational experience, key personnel resumes, a proposed service work plan, references, authorized signatures, price proposals, and a Levine Act disclosure statement. CalOptima will evaluate proposals based on firm experience and independence, designated staff qualifications and experience, and the proposed work plan. The initial agreement covers a five-week offsite engagement with a fixed flat fee pricing structure not to exceed $225,000.
