Clatsop Community College is seeking proposals for nursing simulation equipment through RFP #21.22.01, specifically targeting the procurement of an adult male patient simulator and a newborn patient simulator for its College Simulation Lab. The primary objectives are to replace aging equipment and enhance training capabilities for nursing students in managing increasingly complex and acute healthcare scenarios. The college requires high-fidelity simulators with comprehensive technical specifications, including virtual monitor licenses, touch screen simulated patient monitors, and control tablets. Proposers must demonstrate robust service and support capabilities, provide detailed implementation plans, and meet specific functionality requirements for the simulation equipment. The RFP was posted on September 7, 2021, with proposals due by October 4, 2021, and an anticipated contract award date of October 11, 2021. The initial contract term is three months, with potential renewal options extending up to one year. Evaluation will focus on proposers' ability to meet technical specifications, provide comprehensive training and service plans, and demonstrate reliability in delivering advanced simulation technology.

The procurement encourages participation from certified disadvantaged businesses, specifically targeting minority-owned, woman-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, and emerging small businesses certified under the Oregon Certification Office for Business Inclusion and Diversity (COBID) program. Proposers must outline their outreach plans for engaging certified firms as potential subcontractors and are required to list businesses they have previously worked with in the past two years. The total available budget for this procurement is $52,000, which covers the purchase of new or refurbished equipment, software, training, and service plans. While no incumbent vendors are specifically identified, the RFP mandates that proposers complete a responsibility inquiry demonstrating financial stability, past performance, and disclosure of any criminal or civil charges within the last three to five years. Proposers must also complete a detailed reference check form and provide comprehensive information about their organizational capabilities, ensuring transparency and accountability throughout the procurement process.
