The Virginia Department of Corrections (DOC) has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for physician services at the Rustburg Correctional Unit, located in Campbell County, Virginia. The procurement seeks a licensed physician to provide up to 8 hours of medical services per month for approximately 150 male inmates, with services including performing physical examinations, prescribing medications, reviewing X-rays and lab reports, and related medical duties. Qualified candidates must possess a Doctor of Medicine degree from an accredited medical school, current Virginia medical license, board certification, valid DEA certificate, National Provider Identifier (NPI), and hospital privileges. The RFP will evaluate proposals based on four key criteria: ability to meet requirements (50 points), clinical experience (30 points), professional certifications/CV (10 points), and acceptance of terms and conditions (10 points). The initial contract term is one year, with four potential one-year renewal options, and proposals are due by December 18, 2024, at 2:00 p.m. EST/EDST.

The contract includes a small business participation goal of 42%, with points awarded based on proposed small business subcontracting plans. Prospective physicians must undergo criminal background checks, drug screening, and Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) training before service provision. While no specific funding amounts or incumbent vendor information are disclosed in the RFP, the compensation and hours are negotiable, with services to be billed in one-tenth hour increments. The DOC reserves the right to make multiple awards and requires extensive documentation, including an assignment of coverage form, national practitioner data bank form, and a small business subcontracting plan. Potential respondents should note that the successful candidate will be required to complete DOC orientation training and adhere to the department's formulary guidelines throughout the contract period.
