About this opportunity
San Bernardino County is seeking a Group Purchasing Organization (GPO) membership to support Arrowhead Regional Medical Center (ARMC) and other county departments, with a Request for Proposal (RFP) focused on procuring medical and surgical supplies, clinical laboratory supplies, pharmaceuticals, capital equipment, and value-added services like supply chain analytics. The county requires a comprehensive project plan with full implementation by December 2026, including a 60-day transition strategy and five government hospital references. Proposals are due on January 7, 2026, at 5:00 PM, with a presentation/demonstration week scheduled for January 19, 2026, and a tentative contract award in April 2026. The evaluation will be structured with 10% weight on qualifications, 35% on technical review and transition plan, 35% on cost/revenue/rebate structure, and 20% on interview/presentation. Key objectives include obtaining competitive pricing, robust analytics, and comprehensive supply chain support, with proposers required to structure rebates at no less than 70% of administrative fees and provide quarterly business reviews and monthly performance status reports.
The procurement allows for potential contract extensions and has a maximum seven-year term through December 31, 2033. While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned, the county offers a 5% local vendor preference and requires proposers to comply with HIPAA regulations and provide a Business Associate Agreement. Vizient, Inc. is the current incumbent GPO membership provider, and the county utilizes MD Buyline as a benchmarking platform. The estimated annual expenditure through this GPO is approximately $80 million, with specific medical equipment spending projected at $6-$10 million annually and a budgeted $10 million for medical capital equipment in fiscal year 2026. The county seeks recognition as an Integrated Delivery Network (IDN) to ensure all departments receive discounted pricing, and requires proposers to demonstrate comprehensive coverage across various procurement categories including medical equipment, IT equipment, and HVAC systems.
