The Department of State Hospitals (DSH) - Metropolitan has issued an Invitation for Bid (IFB#15-20126-000A RE-BID) for Mobile Mammography Services targeting Monterey County and Santa Monica City in California. The procurement seeks a contractor to provide comprehensive mobile mammography services for eligible female patients at the Metropolitan State Hospital facility in Norwalk, CA. The contractor must supply all necessary personnel, labor, tools, supplies, equipment, and a properly equipped service vehicle to deliver quarterly mammography screenings. Key qualification requirements include certification from the American Registry of Radiologic Technologists, Board Certification in Diagnostic Radiology, California Department of Public Health certification, and Basic Life Support CPR certification. The bid submission deadline is February 16, 2016 at 3:00 PM, with contract services scheduled to commence on March 1, 2016 and continue through February 28, 2018. The contractor will be responsible for performing mammography services for an estimated 20 patients per quarter, with provisions for up to 5 potential canceled appointments, and must also provide 6 hours of additional training.

The procurement includes potential opportunities for Small Business and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) preferences, though DVBE participation is not mandatory for this contract. The total contract value is not to exceed $50,000, with pricing structured on per-patient rates for mammography services and canceled appointments. Insurance requirements are substantial, mandating Commercial General Liability coverage of $1 million per occurrence and $2 million aggregate, Professional Liability coverage of $1 million per claim and $2 million aggregate, and standard Workers' Compensation coverage. Prospective contractors must submit comprehensive documentation including proof of licensure, professional certifications, and insurance documentation prior to contract award. This is a re-bid opportunity, as no responses were received from the initial bid process that closed on December 30, 2015, signaling potential challenges in attracting qualified providers for these specialized medical services.
