FY26 - 27 COBH Dentist

The Ohio Department of Mental Health and Addiction Services (OhioMHAS) is soliciting proposals for dental services for Central Ohio Behavioral Healthcare, covering State Fiscal Years 2026 and 2027 from July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2027. The procurement seeks an on-site dentist to provide comprehensive dental care at 2200 West Broad Street in Columbus, Ohio, serving a multi-cultural adult population. Required services include initial, annual, and post-operative treatment exams, radiographs, treatment planning, informed consent procedures, and a full range of dental treatments such as extractions, fillings, anterior root canals, and prophylactic hygiene. Evaluation criteria will assess the contractor's years in business (10%), experience with adult mental health and forensic systems (35%), licensing for multiple dental specialties (10%), work schedule compatibility (20%), and pricing competitiveness (25%), with a minimum acceptable score of 300 points to be awarded the contract. Proposals must be submitted through the Ohio|Buys website by April 18, 2025, with the complete RFP comprising 45 pages of detailed requirements.

Contractors must possess a current Ohio dental license and cannot have an unresolved finding for recovery. There are no specific set-aside designations or enterprise restrictions mentioned in the documentation. The contract is contingent on state and federal funding availability, and contracts exceeding $50,000 will require approval from the State of Ohio Controlling Board. While no incumbent vendors are identified, potential bidders should be prepared to integrate with existing healthcare infrastructure at the Central Ohio Behavioral Healthcare facility. The RFP does not specify a precise award value or budget range, but the comprehensive scope of services suggests a substantial contract opportunity for qualified dental professionals with experience in mental health and forensic healthcare settings. Successful contractors will be expected to maintain rigorous infection control standards and provide comprehensive documentation of all dental treatments and patient interactions.
