Comprehensive Correctional Medical, Dental, Pharmaceutical, And Mental Health Services At The Clacka

Clackamas County, Oregon is seeking comprehensive correctional medical services through Request for Proposals (RFP) #2022-95, which aims to secure a vendor to provide medical, dental, pharmaceutical, and mental health services for the Clackamas County Jail. The procurement will cover services including immediate medical care upon inmate intake, comprehensive healthcare management, substance use disorder treatment, and full pharmaceutical services. The contract term is set from July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2028, with options for two additional two-year renewals. A non-mandatory facility walkthrough occurred on February 9, 2023, and sealed proposals were due by 2:00 PM on February 22, 2023. The county requires vendors to provide innovative, cost-effective pricing and opportunities for cost savings, with the selected contractor responsible for all service-related costs including off-site medical services, emergency care, and pharmaceuticals. Evaluation criteria are expected to include pricing models, service comprehensiveness, and potential cost-sharing mechanisms.

The RFP does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types. Naphcare, Inc. dba Everhealth, LLC has been identified as the apparent successful proposer through a Notice of Intent to Award, triggering a 7-calendar day protest period for unsuccessful proposers. The county will provide facility space, limited furniture, utilities, and security, while the vendor must supply their own equipment, software, and internet/data connection services. The current pharmacy services support an average of 476 monthly medication patients, with a preference for at least a 7-day supply of frequently used medications and 24-hour procurement capabilities. The county participates in the MMCAP contract for pharmaceuticals and is open to proposals that both include and exclude pharmaceutical costs to facilitate comparative analysis. While specific budget ranges were not explicitly detailed in the documents, the comprehensive nature of the services suggests a significant contract value covering medical, dental, pharmaceutical, and mental health care for the county jail population.
