Solicitation of Interest # C041205 - Vital Events Integrated System

Description:

The New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) is responsible for filing birth, fetal death, and death certificates within New York State outside of New York City; marriage certificates for marriage licenses obtained in New York State outside of New York City; and divorce and dissolution certificates for the dissolution of marriages anywhere in New York State. The public requires certified copies of such certificates to apply for a passport or driver’s license; to establish citizenship or employment verification; and to collect Social Security, life insurance and other benefits; etc. Article 41 of the New York State Public Health Law establishes the fee for certified copies of birth, death, marriage, divorce, adoption, and fetal death certificates. The Public Health Law authorizes additional handling fees. Payment is required before the certificate can be issued. Annually, the NYSDOH processes over 110,000 requests for certificate copies by mail, telephone, and the Internet.

This Solicitation of Interest (SOI) is to identify qualified organizations who are interested and have the functionality to provide NYSDOH with a comprehensive and integrated vital records solution. The solution is defined as the overarching, comprehensive service package the vendor provides, which includes all functional elements (e.g., software, infrastructure, and integration capabilities) needed to meet NYSDOH's requirements. The "solution" should encompass multiple "systems" that integrate seamlessly to deliver all required services.
