Anesthesiologist

The state of California, specifically Orange County's Fairview Developmental Center in Costa Mesa, is soliciting bids for anesthesiology services through Invitation for Bid (IFB FV159033). The procurement seeks a qualified anesthesiologist to provide comprehensive medical services for developmental center clients, with specific expertise in anesthesia for patients presenting complex medical challenges including craniofacial and genetic abnormalities, multi-organ/system diseases, and psychiatric conditions. Bidders must meet stringent minimum qualifications, including appropriate medical education, professional credentialing, medical staff membership, and demonstrated experience through three references for similar services within the past decade. A mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for February 16, 2016, at 1:30 PM in the Small Classroom of the R&T Building, with sealed bids due by February 25, 2016, at 2:30 PM. The evaluation criteria will focus on identifying the lowest responsive and responsible bidder who fully meets all specified requirements. Required bid attachments include a professional liability insurance certificate, comprehensive resume, bid proposal, references, and various state-mandated forms and certifications.

The procurement includes a Small Business Preference program, suggesting potential set-aside opportunities or preferences for smaller business entities. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the contract appears structured for a single vendor to provide ongoing anesthesiology services at the Fairview Developmental Center. The Notice of Intent to Award and Proposed Award Date are both set for March 4, 2016, indicating a relatively swift procurement process. Bidders will need to demonstrate comprehensive professional capabilities, including the ability to integrate with existing medical staff infrastructure and provide specialized anesthesia services for a complex patient population. The procurement suggests a need for a highly qualified, adaptable medical professional capable of working within a specialized developmental healthcare environment. No specific incumbent vendor information is provided in the available documentation, and the bid appears to be seeking a new service provider for these critical medical services.
