BH DENTAL 3150006643 AMENDMENT I.pdf

This is an Amendment I document related to a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued by Boswell Regional Center (BRC), operated by the Mississippi State Department of Mental Health, for dental services. The RFQ seeks a qualified dentist to provide comprehensive dental services for the Brookhaven and Wesson Group Homes, including routine examinations, x-rays, cleanings, fillings, and simple extractions performed at the provider's own dental facility. Qualified applicants must hold a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) or Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree, possess a current Mississippi dental license, maintain DEA registration, and have a minimum of two years of dental provider experience. Proposals were due January 30, 2026, at 1:00 PM Central Time, with questions accepted until January 20, 2026. The contract performance period is scheduled to begin July 1, 2026, and continue for five years. The RFQ evaluation process employs a two-phased approach, with initial assessment of qualifications using a weighted scoring system that allocates 35 points for Management factors, 30 points for Technical factors, and 35 points for Cost factors derived from sealed price proposals.

The contract will be awarded as a firm fixed-price agreement requiring bidders to submit hourly rates for normal working hours and separately identify non-labor costs. Complex dental procedures require pre-approval from the Medical Services Director and Interdisciplinary Team. The evaluation criteria comprehensively assess project management, professional history, reference checks, personnel availability and qualifications, understanding of work scope, capability to meet requirements, past performance relevance, and innovative technology utilization. Submissions must be mailed or hand-delivered to the Business Services Building in Magee, Mississippi. The contract is contingent upon appropriation of funds by the Mississippi State Legislature, with BRC retaining the right to cancel the RFQ at its discretion and providing ten business days' termination notice if funds become unavailable. No explicit set-aside designations or restrictions apply beyond the professional qualifications required for the dentist position.
