The Robert E. Spiller Bowling Green Veterans Center (BGVC) in Harrison County, Kentucky, is soliciting proposals for On-Call Licensed/Registered Dietitian services through a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) process. The procurement seeks a qualified contractor to provide comprehensive dietitian services for veterans, with specific responsibilities including performing nutritional assessments, developing individualized care plans, documenting medical nutritional therapy, consulting with healthcare professionals, and conducting kitchen inspections. Proposers must demonstrate professional credentials, including licensing, and provide detailed documentation such as professional references, staff listings within a 60-mile radius, liability insurance, and background checks. The evaluation process will allocate a maximum of 1,400 points, with 800 points dedicated to technical merit, 400 points to cost, and 200 points potentially reserved for oral presentations. The solicitation was released on 07/17/2025, with proposals due by 08/21/2025 at 3:00 PM EST, and the initial contract term anticipated from 09/01/2025 through 06/30/2026, with potential renewal options for up to two additional two-year periods.

The RFP does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contractor will be responsible for all travel and lodging expenses and must be capable of providing a Licensed/Registered Dietitian within seven days of BGVC's request. Pricing will be evaluated competitively, with the lowest-priced proposal receiving maximum points and subsequent proposals scored proportionally. While no incumbent vendor is specified in the provided documentation, the contract appears designed to establish an on-call service arrangement for dietitian support at the veterans center. The precise budget range is not explicitly stated, but the comprehensive evaluation process and specific service requirements suggest a competitive and potentially significant contract opportunity for qualified dietitian service providers. Interested contractors should carefully review the full RFP documentation to understand the complete scope of requirements and evaluation criteria.
