Neuromonitoring Services for MSRH

The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio (UT Health San Antonio) has issued Request for Proposal (RFP No. 745-26-P03) for Certified Intraoperative Neuromonitoring Services (INS/IONM) at the new Mays Research Hospital (MSRH). The procurement seeks a qualified vendor to provide comprehensive neuromonitoring services, including staffing, equipment, and interpretation during surgical and preoperative care. Minimum vendor qualifications include at least one year of neuromonitoring experience, licensed and certified professionals, HIPAA compliance, 24/7 availability, and appropriate credentials for various surgical procedures. The vendor must supply credentialed neurophysiologists, technicians, equipment, and technology, and deliver clear reports with potential training for surgical teams. The proposal submission deadline is 3:00 PM Central Time on Friday, October 24, 2025, with the contract expected to support an estimated 50 procedures in FY25, increasing to 150 in FY26 and 200 in FY27. Evaluation criteria will likely include vendor qualifications, service capabilities, technological readiness, and compliance with specified requirements.

The RFP indicates a potential multi-award approach, allowing several contractors to be selected. Vendors must demonstrate accessibility for persons with disabilities and provide a TX-RAMP Level II Certification. Additional requirements include potentially submitting a Service Organization Control (SOC) 2, Type II audit or completing an Initial Security Posture Assessment. The procurement emphasizes a "bill only" approach with no charges for loaner or rental instrument sets. While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly mentioned, vendors should be prepared to meet comprehensive technical, operational, and security standards. The contract appears to be structured with a scalable service model, anticipating growth in procedural volume over the contract period. Though exact budget ranges are not specified, the increasing procedural volume suggests a potentially significant contract value, with financial commitments likely tied to actual service utilization and performance metrics.
