Care-a-Van Mobile Services

The Washington State Department of Health (DOH) is issuing a competitive solicitation for the Care-a-Van Mobile Health Services program. The DOH seeks qualified contractors to provide mobile preventative health services, including vaccine administration, in underserved areas of Washington with high social vulnerability. Key objectives are to improve health equity, enhance the existing Care-a-Van program, and maintain the ability to quickly respond to future public health emergencies and disasters. Bidders must have experience operating mobile clinics in Washington, meet minimum qualifications, and provide detailed technical and pricing proposals. Responses will be evaluated based on qualifications (45 points), technical proposal (35 points), and pricing (20 points). The DOH plans to award one or more contracts with a term of approximately July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025, with options to extend.

The DOH encourages and supports the participation of small and diverse businesses, including Minority Business Enterprises (MBE), Women's Business Enterprises (WBE), Veteran-Owned Businesses, and Washington Small Businesses, either directly or through subcontracting. The DOH has established voluntary numerical goals for the participation of these businesses, but no minimum level of participation is required. Bidders must submit a Diverse Business Inclusion Plan outlining their anticipated small/diverse business participation. The DOH has budgeted up to $7,000,000 for this project.
