BH DENTAL RFQ3150006643 AMENDMENT II.pdf

This amendment document pertains to a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued by Boswell Regional Center (BRC), operated by the Mississippi State Department of Mental Health, for dental services. BRC seeks a qualified dentist to provide comprehensive dental care for residents of the Brookhaven and Wesson Group Homes, including routine examinations, x-rays, cleanings, fillings, and simple extractions performed at the dentist's own facility. Complex procedures require pre-approval from the Medical Services Director and Interdisciplinary Team. The RFQ requires submission of qualifications and sealed price proposals, with questions accepted until January 20, 2026, and proposals due January 30, 2026, at 1:00 PM Central Time. The contract performance period will commence July 1, 2026, and continue for five years. Bidders' meetings or site visits are not specified in the available documentation. Award decisions will follow a two-phase evaluation process assessing management factors (35 points), technical factors (30 points), and cost proposals (35 points) from qualified respondents.

Qualified applicants must hold a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) or Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree, maintain a current Mississippi dental license, possess active DEA registration, and have a minimum of two years of dental provider experience. The contract will be awarded on a firm fixed-price basis, requiring hourly rates for normal working hours and separate identification of non-labor costs. No explicit set-asides or restrictions on responding organizations exist beyond the professional qualifications. The contract is contingent upon appropriation of funds by the Mississippi State Legislature, with BRC retaining the right to cancel the RFQ and providing ten business days' notice if funding becomes unavailable. The solicitation is designed to serve a 160-bed facility with an average daily census of 150 clients. RFQ materials are available through Benjamin Purser (bpurser@boswell.state.ms.us) or the MAGIC portal, with submissions mailed or hand-delivered to the Business Services Building in Magee, Mississippi.
