AMD 1 RFP202602018 Final.docx

This is a Solicitation Amendment issued by the State of Maine Department of Health and Human Services for RFP #202602018 regarding Pharmacy Management Services at Dorothea Dix and Riverview Psychiatric Centers. The amendment revises two key elements of the original solicitation: the proposal submission deadline and the observed pharmacy holidays schedule. The proposal submission deadline has been extended to May 12, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. local time, providing vendors with additional time to prepare comprehensive responses. The pharmacy holidays table has been updated to clarify the specific dates when the pharmacy will be closed, including fixed holidays such as New Year's Day (January 1st), Independence Day (July 4th), and Christmas Day (December 25th), as well as floating holidays including Memorial Day, Labor Day (first Monday of September), and Thanksgiving (fourth Thursday of November).

This amendment does not address pricing terms, set-asides, incumbent vendor information, or funding sources, as these elements remain governed by the original RFP solicitation. The amendment serves solely to extend the bidding timeline and standardize the pharmacy holiday schedule to ensure clarity regarding operational closure dates. Vendors should reference the original RFP #202602018 for complete procurement details, evaluation criteria, contract term information (July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2028, with two optional renewal periods), staffing requirements, performance metrics, and submission instructions through the Vendor Self Service system.
