About this file
This is a Question and Answer document from the University of Wisconsin-Stout regarding Solicitation# STO-21-8118-P for Student Health Care Services, dated April 26, 2021. The university is seeking a contractor to provide comprehensive medical health care services on campus for enrolled students. The document outlines operational expectations, staffing requirements, and clinical capabilities for the student health services facility. Key operational considerations include the university's openness to alternative staffing models that maintain or enhance current service levels, preference for retaining existing staff within new organizational structures, and flexibility regarding student fee coverage for services. The contractor is required to provide all necessary professionally trained staff for primary health and medical care services.
The clinical operations currently utilize CLIA certification for onsite laboratory services and perform nine specific lab tests in-house including rapid strep and mono tests, pregnancy screening, HIV rapid testing, urinalysis, and complete blood count analysis. Reference laboratory services are provided through Marshfield Laboratory with daily specimen pickup. Existing lab equipment ranges from vintage (microscope from 1992, centrifuge from 1990) to more recent purchases (Cliniteck Analyzer purchased 2015, Horiba Heme Analyzer purchased 2013), with the latter having an active service agreement. The university retains ownership of all laboratory equipment regardless of contractor selection. The contingency for single lab technician absence involves utilizing trained LPNs, RNs, and NPs to perform point-of-care testing and specimen preparation.
