Athletic Trainer Services

Lehman College of the City University of New York (CUNY) is seeking a qualified Athletic Trainer for its Athletics Department through an Invitation for Bids (IFB). The successful contractor will provide comprehensive athletic trainer services for all sports teams, with key responsibilities including arranging yearly physical examinations, coordinating student-athlete medical compliance and eligibility, ensuring sports medicine representation at home athletic events and practices, and maintaining medical records. The ideal candidate must possess a bachelor's degree in athletic training (with a master's degree preferred), maintain New York State licensing requirements, and hold NATABOC certification and NATA membership. The contract term is three years with potential for two one-year extensions, requiring the contractor to work 37.5 hours per week, typically Monday through Friday from 12 PM to 7 PM with limited Sunday coverage. Bids are due on March 24, 2025 at 3:00 PM, with preliminary questions accepted until March 10, 2025 at 3:00 PM. The pricing structure requires bidders to submit monthly rates for each of the three contract years, with the total bid price calculated as the sum of all 36 months.

The solicitation indicates no specific set-aside designations for minority-owned, women-owned, or service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, with all subcontracting goals set at 0%. The contractor must maintain substantial insurance coverage, including $1 million in commercial general liability with a $3 million aggregate, and $2 million in professional liability coverage per claim. Liquidated damages of $1,000 may be assessed for each missed scheduled event. The procurement is governed by the Procurement Lobbying Act, with strict communication guidelines that could result in vendor disqualification for impermissible contacts. SUNY Downstate Medical Center is noted as a business entity that has been awarded an identical or substantially similar procurement contract within the past five years. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive service requirements and multi-year contract suggest a significant investment in athletic training services for Lehman College's athletic program.
