ITS board approves $11.8 million increase for eLTSS and EVV hosting and enhancements

The Mississippi Department of Information Technology Services Board on June 19 approved a continuation and increase to the agreement with FEI.com Inc. dba FEI Systems to provide hosting, maintenance, operations and enhancements to the Electronic Long Term Support System (eLTSS) and Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) system for the Mississippi Division of Medicaid, authorizing up to $11,771,700.40 through Oct. 31, 2027. The board recorded the revised 10-year lifecycle cost for the project as $45,962,297.78. The recommendation was presented by Matthew Livingston and Misty Jenkins, Senior Director of Long Term Services and Support; ITS and DOM staffs jointly recommended the contract increase. The board voted on a motion by Keith Van Camp, seconded by Bill Cook, and the motion carried unanimously. The action continues existing hosting and support services and funds further enhancements to the state’s eLTSS and EVV platforms, which are used by Medicaid-managed long-term services and supports providers and by agencies administering Medicaid long-term care programs. The staff summary provided the not-to-exceed amounts and revised lifecycle total; no additional implementation schedule or vendor performance metrics were recorded in the meeting minutes. The board’s vote authorized ITS staff and leadership to continue the agreement through Oct. 31, 2027, at the stated not-to-exceed amount. The minutes do not specify any dissent, conditions, or separate committee review tied to this approval, nor did presenters provide additional timeline details during the recorded motion. Future administrative or procurement steps, such as contract amendments or implementation plans, were not detailed in the minutes and would be handled through ITS procurement processes and the Division of Medicaid’s oversight.
