IFB 1255 Psychiatric Services for Various Facilities

This is a reference submission form attachment for an Invitation for Bids (IFB) issued by the New York State Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) for psychiatric services at four youth residential facilities: Brookwood Secure Center, Industry Secure Center, Taberg Residential Center, and Harriet Tubman Residential Center. The IFB seeks to award up to five individual psychiatrist contracts to provide clinical services to youth in OCFS custody. Brookwood Secure Center has two available positions with a maximum of 888 hours per year per position (approximately 74 hours monthly), while Industry Secure Center, Taberg Residential Center, and Harriet Tubman Residential Center each have one available position. All services are expected to be delivered in person throughout the contract term, though OCFS reserves the right to request telepsychiatry services at its sole discretion during service delivery. Qualified psychiatrists who meet minimum requirements are eligible to bid.

The reference submission document requires each bidder to provide three professional references as a mandatory submission component, with at least one reference demonstrating services provided within the past twelve months. Bidders must submit two separate hourly rates: one for in-person psychiatric services and another for telepsychiatry services. In-person rates will apply to routine service delivery, while telepsychiatry rates will apply only if OCFS requests remote services during the contract period. The reference form requests standard contact information including the reference contact's name, title, organization, address, telephone number, and email for each of the three required professional references.
