Dental Education Study

The Florida Board of Governors (the Board) is seeking proposals for a Dental Education Study to determine whether Florida has a need for more licensed dentists than are currently being educated, and to evaluate whether current state dental programs should be expanded or new programs created to fulfill such need. The selected vendor will be required to provide a written report detailing the data sources, methodologies, and analyses conducted to support their conclusions. The Board is looking for respondents with demonstrated experience and qualifications in the required services. Proposals will be evaluated based on technical merit (80%) and cost (20%), with a due date of August 14, 2024. The contract will be for a one-time engagement with a term ending on December 31, 2024, and the Board reserves the right to not make an award if it deems it to be in the best interest of the state.

The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. It also does not list any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it mention any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFP does not provide a specific award value or budget range, but indicates the contract will be on a fixed-fee basis.
