NIGP 95370: Malpractice, Medical

NIGP 95370 Malpractice, Medical is an Item code under which state and local governments procure occupational health surveillance and medical examination services, particularly baseline and periodic occupational health evaluations, medical record management, and regulatory compliance support for high-risk employee populations. The Washington State Department of Transportation, on behalf of the Washington State Ferries, is actively soliciting occupational medical surveillance services through RFP 20260825 with a response deadline of October 9, 2026. State and local buyers under this code include transportation authorities and other public agencies with occupational health and safety obligations; WSF's solicitation reflects the practical scope of the code: contracted physicians board-certified in occupational medicine conduct baseline, periodic, follow-up, and exit examinations for shipyard workers, engine crew, deck crew, and asbestos team members, manage full medical records with HIPAA compliance, deliver results within 60 days of examination, and provide 24/7 technical support and overdue-examination tracking. The work requires geographically dispersed service delivery and flexible scheduling to accommodate operational needs across multiple work sites.

The Washington State Ferries solicitation represents current activity in the Pacific Northwest. WSF's RFP uses cost-based scoring (40 percent pricing, 60 percent non-cost capability factors) and runs through November 30, 2026 contract award. A pre-bid conference is scheduled for August 31, 2026 at 11:30 a.m. Pacific Time via Microsoft Teams. The contract term is two years with WSDOT holding an option to extend for up to five additional one-year terms. Service delivery spans 14 Washington locations including Seattle, Tacoma, Bremerton, Anacortes, and San Juan Islands. A voluntary Subcontractor Inclusion Plan is available; zero participation will not affect bid responsiveness or evaluation. Questions close September 7, 2026, with answers due September 14, and bidder references due October 7, 2026.
