Manage and Operate the Washington Center for Aging

The District of Columbia is seeking a qualified vendor to manage and operate the Washington Center for Aging, a licensed Medicare and Medicaid certified nursing facility through a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) process. The procurement opportunity encompasses comprehensive management of a 262-bed nursing facility and a geriatric day treatment program serving up to 55 elderly participants. Interested offerors must retrieve specific attachments (J.11, J.12, J.13, J.15, and J.16) from the Office of Contracting and Procurement (OCP) located at 441 4th Street, NW, Suite 703 South, with additional attachments available on the OCP website. The solicitation was initially posted on June 16, 2004, with an unusually historical due date of December 30, 1899, which may indicate a potential data entry error. Vendors responding to this opportunity will be expected to demonstrate extensive experience in healthcare facility management, Medicare and Medicaid compliance, and geriatric care services.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, potential respondents should anticipate standard District of Columbia procurement requirements for healthcare service providers. The RFP suggests a comprehensive operational contract for a specialized aging services facility, indicating potential preference for organizations with demonstrated expertise in senior healthcare management. No incumbent vendor information is provided in the current documentation. The potential contract appears to represent a significant operational management opportunity within the District's healthcare infrastructure, likely involving substantial annual funding commensurate with managing a 262-bed nursing facility and day treatment program. Interested vendors should carefully review all attachments and ensure compliance with Medicare, Medicaid, and District of Columbia licensing requirements for long-term care facilities.
