About this file

This document is an Amendment One (1) Request for Proposal (RFP) for a Speech Language Pathologist issued by the Kansas Office of Procurement and Contracts on behalf of the Kansas School for the Blind. The RFP seeks a speech-language pathologist (SLP) or speech-language pathologist assistant (SLP-A) to provide ongoing services, with a closing date of March 28th, 2025, and an event number of EVT0010202. The contract is a continuation of an existing position, with Soliant currently providing an SLP-A working under a Kansas-certified SLP. The procurement will award one contract, with the selected vendor required to provide an on-site SLP or SLP-A regardless of their location.

The contract has a budget allocation of $100,000, with current incumbent rates of $58 for an SLP-A and $70 for an SLP. The RFP requires candidates to submit a resume, and while there is no specific preference for local vendors, the vendor must be able to meet the school's needs. The current vendor was selected through a prior authorization because no state vendors could initially meet their requirements. Equipment is not mandatory for this RFP, and the procurement allows for obtaining proposals and pricing details from incumbent vendors. The document indicates that the contract is not a new initiative but a continuation of an existing service arrangement.
