This Scope of Work document outlines the requirements for as-needed forensic pathology services for the County of Los Angeles, Department of Medical Examiner-Coroner. The Department seeks qualified physicians with forensic pathology credentials to enter into Master Agreements to perform services on an as-needed basis to support the Department's primary mission of investigating and determining the cause, manner, and circumstances of unnatural, suspicious, unusual, violent, sudden, and unattended deaths. Selected forensic pathologists will form a pool of eligible contractors available to perform postmortem examinations, investigations, and related pathology services required to determine cause of death through examination and laboratory testing. The solicitation was issued as a Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFSQ) to establish a roster of qualified service providers rather than for a specific project with defined quantities or timelines.

The specific pricing terms, contract award dates, contract term length, and renewal options are not detailed in this Scope of Work excerpt. As an as-needed services agreement, compensation would likely be structured on a per-service or hourly basis as work is requested by the Department. Qualified forensic pathologists selected through the qualification process will be maintained in an eligible contractor pool for potential engagement throughout the agreement period. No incumbent contractor information, site visit requirements, or bidder conference details are referenced in this document. The document establishes the professional qualifications, licensing, and experience standards required for pathologists to be considered for inclusion in the Department's contractor roster.
