Ada County awards jail health electronic records contract to Sapphire Health LLC
Summary
The Ada County Board of Commissioners voted to award RFP 25051 for county jail health electronic medical records to Sapphire Health LLC, following a procurement evaluation that ranked nine responses by score.
The Ada County Board of Commissioners voted June 10 to award a contract for the county jail health services electronic medical records system (RFP 25051) to Sapphire Health LLC.
County procurement staff told the board the evaluation committee ranked nine proposals by score and recommended Sapphire Health LLC as the top-ranked vendor. Procurement read a written recommendation to the record stating, “A final ranking of qualified candidates was determined by evaluation score,” and listed the final scores with Sapphire Health LLC scoring 127.7.
The procurement staff read the ranked list into the record: Sapphire Health LLC (127.7); Core EMR (122.12); Economy Today d/b/a Cadmus (102.80); Fusion Health (59.01); Medicalistics LLC (55.98); Alterra Digital Health Inc. (50.05); Correctional Health Inc. (48.3); Softbreer (nonresponsive); and CNT Infotech Corporation (nonresponsive).
A commissioner moved to award the contract based on the evaluation committee’s recommendation; the motion passed on an oral vote. No roll-call tally was recorded in the meeting minutes.
Why it matters: The contract covers electronic medical record (EMR) services for county jail health operations. Procurement staff said the ranking was determined by the evaluation committee’s scoring; the board relied on that recommendation when making the award.
What the board recorded as action: award of RFP 25051 to Sapphire Health LLC, per procurement recommendation. The board did not record a detailed roll-call vote in the transcript; the motion was adopted after the usual “all in favor say aye” procedure.
Provenance: Procurement staff presented the recommendation and read the ranking during the unfinished-business portion of the meeting (transcript excerpt: “A final ranking of qualified candidates was determined by evaluation score”).
