DESCRIPTION

A government authority in San Francisco, California, is seeking a cost accounting and decision support system to analyze its current cost structure and perform detailed cost and revenue analysis. The system should support assessment of budget impacts under alternative operational and performance assumptions, standard variance analysis, budget modeling, and scenario analysis.

The solution should identify services with significant cost variances and compare costs and revenues against internal and external benchmark data to support planning, budgeting, cost accounting, and performance management. It should calculate overall service costs and revenues, including patient encounter costs, down to individual components such as labor, devices, drugs, supplies, and facilities.

The system should enable analysis of costs by service and provider across individual facilities, selected combinations of facilities, and aggregate operations. It should help identify the causes of variances, support standardization analysis, and reveal opportunities to improve cost efficiency through standardized practices, staffing models, and clinical protocols. A pre-bid meeting is scheduled for September 21, 2026, and questions must be submitted by September 28, 2026.
