Welcome
Thank you for your interest in doing business with Inland Empire Health Plan (IEHP). IEHP’s Procurement department is continuously looking for suppliers of the varied goods and services it procures. IEHP procures goods and services through the solicitation process, and in the case of repetitively purchased items, establishes long-term contracts. With the exception of Public Works (construction type bids) and a few specialty bids, most bids for goods and services procured are completed using a third-party solicitation website called Bonfire. Vendors have the option to view IEHP’s open solicitations on the Bonfire website. IEHP invites all vendors to register with Bonfire and participate in IEHP’s fair and open solicitation process for goods and services.
Mission Statement
The Procurement department is committed to supporting the mission of IEHP, which is “to organize and improve the delivery of quality, accessible and wellness based healthcare services for our community”. As a community-developed health plan, we are accountable to the public.
IEHP’s Procurement professionals possess the necessary skill set, knowledge base, and negotiating skills to assist IEHP with the acquisition of materials, equipment and contractual services. Utilizing this expertise, our best procurement practices, and the highest standards of professional ethics and integrity, we ensure that procurement decisions made are in the best interest of IEHP and in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and policies.
Compliance with Economic Sanctions Imposed in Response to Russia’s Actions in Ukraine
On March 4, 2022, Governor Gavin Newsom issued Executive Order N-6-22 (EO) regarding sanctions in response to Russian aggression in Ukraine. The EO is located at https://www.gov.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/3.4.22-Russia-Ukraine-Executive-Order.pdf.
This serves as a notice under the EO that as a vendor, contractor or grantee, compliance with the economic sanctions imposed in response to Russia’s actions in Ukraine is required, including with respect to, but not limited to, the federal executive orders identified in the EO and the sanctions identified on the U.S. Department of the Treasury website (https://home.treasury.gov/policy-issues/financial-sanctions/sanctions-programs-and-country-information/ukraine-russia-related-sanctions). Failure to comply may result in the termination of contracts or grants, as applicable.
For general inquiries, please email procurement@iehp.org.

IEHP 供應商多元化計畫
小型與多元企業在全國及地區都驅動著經濟前進。IEHP 重視促進讓這些企業蓬勃發展的環境，並採取步驟推動落實，培養共融的採購程序，最大限度地為小型與多元企業提供以商品與服務合作夥伴及供應商身分參與的機會。確保採購程序納入這些供應商的另一項好處是促進競爭，進一步降低成本，提升創新、服務品質和產品品質。IEHP 藉由採用小型與多元公司以及與之合作，將持續打造能提升我們競爭優勢的供應商班底。
除了小型企業，IEHP 也有意與符合以下一項或以上多元化類別的企業合作：
• 少數族裔企業 (MBE)
• 女性企業 (WBE)
• 女性持有小型企業 (WOSB)
• SBA 8(A)
• 小型弱勢企業 (SDB)
• 弱勢企業 (DBE)
• 經濟弱勢女性持有小型企業 (ED-WOSB)
• 歷史上發展不足商業區 (HUBZone)
• 退伍軍人持有企業 (VBE)
• 因公致殘退伍軍人企業 (DVBE)
• 傳統黑人高等院校 (HBCU)
• 男同性戀、女同性戀、雙性戀、變性者 (GLBT)
• 阿拉斯加原住民
• 殘障人士
• AbilityOne 計畫
• 小型企業 (SBE)
上述企業必須有至少 51% 是由符合上述類別之一的人員所持有、營運與控制。 MBE、WBE、LGBTBE 和 SDVOB 企業必須經過獨立認證機構認證。 符合其他類別的企業負責人必須願意簽署自行分類切結書。
IEHP 在供應商多元化方面的工作包括：
- 在我們的網站上提供資訊，說明如何參與 IEHP 採購機會，以便小型及多元企業瞭解如何參與程序
- 確定小型及多元企業提供的服務/產品，並在有採購機會時主動聯繫符合資格的廠商
有意與 IEHP 進行業務往來的小型及多元企業應該前往 Bonfire 網站註冊其公司。 如果有與公司註冊的商品代碼領域相關的採購機會，Bonfire 會寄送該空缺機會的電子郵件通知。 另外也建議各公司定期查看 Bonfire，因為 IEHP 無法保證系統會將廠商符合資格的所有機會一一通知到。
