Child Abuse Medical Services

The County of Orange Social Services Agency (SSA) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) #063-26010787-AH seeking organizations capable of providing comprehensive Child Abuse Medical Services in Orange County, California. The procurement targets private organizations, agencies, and public higher education institutions to deliver medical services for children ages birth to 17 and adults with developmental disabilities. Required services include forensic and medical examinations, consultations, assessments, and diagnoses by board-certified child abuse pediatricians, along with expert court testimony and educational training on child abuse risks. The services will be performed at the CAST Medical Facility in Orange, with specific staffing requirements including a Medical Physician, Licensed Vocational Nurse, and Office Manager. Key performance metrics include completing eighty-five percent of consultations within forty-eight hours, providing two annual trainings with ninety percent attendee satisfaction, and maintaining weekly consultation hours. The RFI was posted on January 13, 2026, with questions due by January 30, 2026, and full responses required by February 6, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. through OpenGov.com.

The RFI does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types, though it emphasizes the need for culturally responsive and linguistically appropriate services. No incumbent vendor information is provided, and the document explicitly states this is a preliminary market assessment that does not guarantee a future contract. The RFI requires respondents to have the capability to invoice law enforcement for forensic sexual exams and seek reimbursements from alternative resources before billing the County. No specific budget ranges or award values are mentioned, and the County reserves the right to negotiate a contract, issue a future solicitation, or take no further action based on the RFI responses. All submitted responses will become the property of the County of Orange and may be subject to disclosure under the California Public Records Act, with respondents allowed to mark portions as trade secret or confidential under California Government Code Section 6250 et seq.
