Management & operations of RMC and VVH

The South Carolina State Fiscal Accountability Authority and the South Carolina Department of Veterans' Affairs are seeking proposals for comprehensive management and operations of two veteran nursing homes: Richard M. Campbell Veterans' Home in Anderson and Veterans' Victory House in Walterboro. This Request for Proposal (RFP) seeks a contractor to provide full management services for these 220-bed intermediate and skilled nursing facilities, including clinical care, staffing, maintenance, IT infrastructure, security, and food service. The contract will commence on December 8, 2025, with an initial three-year term and potential two two-year renewal options, resulting in a maximum contract duration of seven years. A mandatory site visit is scheduled for July 9-10, 2025, with proposals due by August 18, 2025. Evaluation will be comprehensive, assessing technical capabilities, experience, qualifications, and including a presentation phase. Contractors must maintain high-quality nursing home care meeting licensure standards from the South Carolina Department of Public Health, Medicare, Medicaid, and U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs requirements. The state will provide existing furniture, fixtures, and equipment, with the contractor responsible for maintenance and replacement.

The RFP does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The current facilities are managed by HMR Governmental Services, Inc. (Richard M. Campbell) and Advantage Veteran Services (Veterans' Victory House), with contracts expiring on December 7, 2025. Bidders may submit proposals for one or both facilities, with pricing structured as a per bed per day rate, accompanied by a detailed line-item budget and transition costs. The existing infrastructure includes comprehensive technology assets, with each facility maintaining robust computer networks, medical equipment, vehicles, and facility-specific furnishings. Detailed inventories reveal extensive assets, including over 400 items at Richard M. Campbell and comparable resources at Veterans' Victory House, spanning medical equipment, vehicles, kitchen appliances, and technology infrastructure. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the contract and the extensive existing infrastructure suggest a significant annual investment in facility management and operations.
