24-09011-000 Bid Cancelation Notice

The California Department of State Hospitals (DSH) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for Temporary/Relief Healthcare Staffing Services. DSH is seeking bids from contractors to provide temporary and relief healthcare staffing on an as-needed basis for five state hospitals located across Northern and Southern California, including facilities in Napa, San Bernardino, San Luis Obispo, Los Angeles, and Fresno counties. The agreement term is anticipated to be from November 1, 2024 through October 31, 2027, with an option to extend up to two additional one-year terms. Bidders must meet minimum qualifications such as providing proof of legal right to do business in California, references, agreement to sign the standard contract, and submitting current curriculum vitae and letters of interest for potential candidates. Bids will be evaluated, and DSH intends to award up to three agreements per region to the lowest responsive and responsible bidders, with consideration of small business, disabled veteran business enterprise, and other preference programs.

The original solicitation has been canceled, and DSH plans to rebid this opportunity in the near future. The new solicitation will be posted online at the CalEProcure website. While no incumbent contractors were identified, the previous IFB sought to replace existing agreements with multiple providers in both the Northern and Southern California regions. The DSH has not provided any details on the anticipated contract values or budget ranges for this procurement.
