234332 Public Health Care Services Capacity Enhancement

The Massachusetts Department of Public Health (DPH) is procuring a master agreement contract to create a qualified list of vendors that can provide therapeutic services, deployable medical teams, and management/coordination of healthcare, medical, and ancillary support services. Eligible organizations include hospitals, clinics, community health centers, pharmacies, and other licensed healthcare providers in Massachusetts. The RFR seeks applications on a rolling basis, with no defined contract term but an estimated value up to $60 million including renewals. Approved vendors will be compensated at negotiated daily or location-based rates, with the Department reimbursing for approved overhead and equipment costs. Vendors must make a minimum 1% Supplier Diversity Program (SDP) commitment, with additional points awarded for higher commitments. The RFR outlines detailed requirements for securing necessary licenses, providing staffing and logistical support, ensuring sufficient capacity, providing medical direction and cultural/linguistic competence, and submitting data as requested.

The current incumbent provider has been delivering these services for the past five years, and the RFR is open to all qualified organizations licensed in Massachusetts. Funding for this opportunity will be provided by a combination of state appropriations and federal grant monies from the Department of Health and Human Services. Applicants must demonstrate their relevant experience, capacity, and any start-up costs associated with the requested services. The Department reserves the right to add eligible organizations throughout the procurement period.
