The Missouri Department of Mental Health (DMH) has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB DMH23005) for Fit for Duty Examination Services targeting specific state-operated healthcare facilities, including Fulton State Hospital, Hawthorn Children's Psychiatric Hospital, and St. Louis Forensic Treatment Centers-North & South. The procurement seeks licensed physical therapists and physical therapist assistants to conduct professional fitness examinations for employees at these facilities. Vendors must submit comprehensive bid responses that include completed Exhibits 1-3 and Attachments 1-4, with a specific focus on providing per-examination pricing for licensed physical therapists and physical therapist assistants. The solicitation period is precisely defined, running from July 9, 2022, at 1:00 PM GMT to July 24, 2022, at 7:00 PM GMT. Bidders are required to submit their proposals electronically through the MissouriBUYS system, with the contract to be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The initial contract term includes options for two additional one-year renewal periods, for which vendors must also provide maximum pricing.

The IFB does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation, indicating the procurement is open to all qualified vendors who can meet the specified requirements. No incumbent vendor information is provided, and there are no explicit mentions of disadvantaged enterprise provisions or specific integration requirements with existing infrastructure. The solicitation documents do not outline a specific total contract value or budget range, leaving pricing and potential contract scope to be determined by vendor submissions. Vendors are expected to provide their own pricing structure for the initial contract period and maximum prices for two potential renewal periods. The contract will cover fit for duty examinations across multiple Missouri Department of Mental Health facilities, with the geographic jurisdiction including Cass County. Delivery terms are specified as "Free on Board Destination" with payment terms to be determined by the vendor, providing flexibility in the bidding process.
