NaphCare, a leading provider of correctional healthcare services, today announced that its TechCare electronic health record (EHR) has been awarded a National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) ValuePoint master agreement administered by the State of Utah. Upon successful execution of a participating addendum, the master agreement will enable government agencies nationwide to purchase TechCare directly, without the traditional Request for Proposal (RFP) process, beginning September 16, 2026.
“This contract represents a major advancement in how government agencies can access our TechCare platform," said Charlie Barranco, Chief Information Officer at NaphCare. “By working directly with agencies through NASPO ValuePoint, we can deliver faster implementations and more responsive support while enabling them to improve patient care with technology designed specifically for unique correctional settings.”
This significant milestone gives government agencies the option to streamline the procurement process without the need for traditional reseller intermediaries. Agencies can have direct access to NaphCare's corrections-specific electronic health record technology and support services, reducing procurement complexity and costs.

TechCare EHR is currently used more than 220 local and state correctional facilities, managing over 200,000 active patient records daily, including recent statewide deployments serving tens of thousands of incarcerated patients.
The selection positions NaphCare within NASPO ValuePoint's proven cooperative procurement framework, which facilitated $20.5 billion in combined contractor sales in 2023, including $1.45 billion through the current Cloud Solutions portfolio alone.
