FY16 - DOH HEPRA - Medical Reserve Corp Volunteers

The District of Columbia Department of Health (DOH) has issued a procurement opportunity for the FY16 Medical Reserve Corps (MRC) Volunteers program under solicitation ID 66c85af3829eb5d869072d1a. This contract appears to focus on recruiting, managing, and supporting volunteer medical and public health personnel who can provide critical emergency response and community health support during crisis situations. The procurement was posted on April 14, 2016, with proposals due by May 11, 2016, indicating a relatively short response window for potential contractors. While specific deliverables are not fully detailed in the provided information, typical MRC volunteer program requirements often include volunteer recruitment, training, credentialing, and deployment protocols for public health emergencies. The solicitation likely requires comprehensive plans for volunteer management, emergency preparedness training, and potential rapid mobilization strategies for healthcare professionals and support personnel during community health incidents.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or specific restrictions on responding organizations. However, given the nature of Medical Reserve Corps programs, respondents are likely to be healthcare-related organizations, nonprofits, or entities with demonstrated experience in emergency response and volunteer management. The procurement appears to be a competitive solicitation open to qualified vendors with expertise in public health emergency preparedness. Without specific budget information provided, similar MRC contracts in urban jurisdictions typically range from $100,000 to $500,000 annually, depending on the scope of volunteer infrastructure and support services required. Potential respondents would need to demonstrate substantial capabilities in volunteer coordination, emergency preparedness training, and the ability to rapidly mobilize healthcare professionals in response to public health emergencies or crisis situations.
