FAQs
- How do NASPO and cooperative contracts simplify public sector software procurement?
NASPO ValuePoint and other cooperative contracts streamline procurement by offering pre-negotiated terms, pricing, and vendor vetting. This allows agencies to bypass lengthy Request for Proposal (RFP) processes while still meeting compliance requirements. As a result, organizations can accelerate project timelines and reduce administrative overhead.
- What should agencies evaluate when selecting public health software vendors?
Agencies should evaluate a vendor’s specific experience in public health domains, their commitment to interoperability standards like HL7 and FHIR, and their security certifications (e.g., HIPAA and NIST). It is also important to assess the vendor’s ability to scale and configure the solution without significant additional costs.
- How can compliance teams assess vendor risk in public health technology contracts?
Compliance teams should conduct a structured risk assessment focusing on the vendor’s cybersecurity posture, financial stability, and operational resilience. This includes reviewing third-party audits, data sovereignty policies, and the vendor’s track record for maintaining uptime and compliance in highly regulated environments.
