Licensed Medical Facility for Laser Hair Removal Students

Western Suffolk BOCES is seeking proposals from qualified laser hair removal facilities to provide a comprehensive 30-hour laser training course for esthetics students during the 2025/26 school year. The Request for Proposal (RFP #25/26-04PIE3-MB) specifically requires a medical facility capable of delivering theory and hands-on instruction for student training, with classes to be conducted during daytime hours in conjunction with a Western Suffolk BOCES licensed teacher. Planned course sessions are scheduled for 8/18/2025 - 8/22/2025, 11/17/2025 - 11/21/2025, and a third session in March 2026. The proposal is due by 3:00 PM on March 12, 2025, with an evaluation process that includes a weighted scoring system: 30% for cost, 20% for responsiveness and completeness, 20% for facility provision, 10% for experience with BOCES/School Districts, and 20% for qualifications and experience. Key requirements include direct physician or registered nurse supervision, proper medical malpractice insurance, and the ability to provide comprehensive laser hair removal training equipment and instruction.

The contract will be in effect from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, with an option for BOCES to renew for three additional one-year periods. There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor types mentioned in the documentation. Vendors are required to submit per-student and per-class session rates using the provided Cost Summary Sheet, with BOCES reserving the right to select the vendor(s) best meeting their needs, which may not necessarily be the lowest-cost proposal. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, vendors will have the opportunity to propose pricing through the Cost Summary Sheet. The procurement is limited to Suffolk County and is specifically targeted at licensed medical facilities capable of providing specialized laser hair removal training for esthetics students. BOCES will ultimately select a vendor based on a comprehensive evaluation of qualifications, experience, facility capabilities, and proposed pricing.
