Summary: Request for Statement of Qualifications for As-Needed On-Site Veterinarian Services

This is a Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFSQ) issued by the County of Los Angeles Department of Animal Care and Control (DACC) seeking qualified veterinarians to enter into a Master Agreement for as-needed on-site veterinary services. The Department requires veterinarians to perform high-volume, high-quality spay/neuter surgeries, oversee perioperative care, diagnose and treat medical conditions of animals, provide vaccinations, and deliver emergency treatment services. The RFSQ document establishes the qualification standards and evaluation criteria for veterinarian vendors interested in providing these services to the Department. The specific details regarding submission deadlines, award dates, contract term length, renewal options, site visits, and bidder conferences are outlined within the RFSQ documentation.

The procurement is structured as a Master Agreement for as-needed veterinary services, allowing the County to engage qualified veterinarians on a flexible basis to meet operational demands. Pricing terms, any small business or minority-owned business set-asides, current incumbent information, funding sources and amounts, and other contractual provisions are specified within the RFSQ document. The Master Agreement structure enables the Department to contract with multiple qualified vendors to support its animal care operations without requiring separate competitive procurements for each service engagement.
