From the meeting
The report said HCA agency request legislation for the 2027 legislative session was in review with the Governor's Office and would strengthen Washington's public option plan, Cascade Select. It would align the plan with reference-based pricing used for PEBB and SEBB, add targeted inpatient and outpatient hospital reimbursement caps, increase primary care and behavioral health investment, and modify participation rules. The board endorsed the proposal as urgent to preserve affordable coverage for low-income Washingtonians.
Decision state: proposed legislation still under review.

A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
