This is a Questions and Answers document issued by the Nevada Department of Human Services, Division of Child and Family Services, in response to vendor inquiries regarding RFP 40DHHS-S3579 for medical director services at the Nevada Youth Training Center (NYTC) in Elko County. The document addresses clarification questions submitted by prospective vendors, including confirmation that the state requires the medical director to be available for in-person patient care at the state facility in Elko and notification that an adjustment was made to the bid specifications that does not require vendor action. The RFP solicits medical director services for a staff-secure correctional care facility housing up to 64 youth ages 14-18, with the contract term extending four years subject to automatic renewal absent legislative action terminating it due to insufficient funding. The submission deadline is February 25, 2026, at 2:00 pm Pacific Time, with evaluation estimated for March 10-12, 2026, notice of intent to award by March 12, 2026, and formal notice of award by April 30, 2026, pending Board of Examiners approval on June 9, 2026.
