Nursing/Health Care Services for Students in the School Clinic

The Cobb County School District (CCSD) in Georgia is conducting a Request for Proposal (RFP P26088) for temporary nursing and health care services to staff school clinics during the absence of permanent school nurses. The procurement seeks qualified vendors to provide Registered Nurses (RNs), Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs), Medical Assistants (MAs), and Certified Nursing Assistants (CNAs) for coverage during regular school days (seven hours) and, in some cases, extended hours for After School Programs. Vendors must handle all aspects of staffing management, including recruiting, selection, background screening, payroll administration, and benefits management. Required qualifications include a minimum of five years of experience providing temporary nursing services and compliance with all background check requirements, including fingerprint-based criminal history record checks through GCIC and NCIS. Vendors must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage including Commercial General Liability, Commercial Auto Liability, Professional Liability, Umbrella Coverage, Workers' Compensation, and Employer's Liability, with CCSD named as an additional insured. The evaluation committee will assess proposals based on vendor background and experience (60 points), methodology (20 points), capabilities (120 points), and nursing/health care services (100 points), with a minimum score of 210 points (70 percent) required to advance to Best and Final Offer consideration. Key deadlines include written questions due by April 15, 2026 at 10:00 PM ET, responses to questions posted by April 17, 2026, and proposal submissions due by April 27, 2026 at 3:00 PM ET through the CCSD Euna Procurement Portal, with award anticipated in June 2026 and contract effectiveness beginning July 1, 2026.

Pricing for this procurement is capped at current Medicaid reimbursement rates of $95.36 per hour for RNs, $63.40 per hour for LPNs, and $28.80 per hour for MAs and CNAs, with the vendor's hourly bill rate markup included within these maximum rates. Vendors must provide firm pricing for one year from the award date, and any escalation requests are contingent upon budget availability and approval. The RFP does not specify set-aside designations or restrictions on organization types, though responding vendors must comply with Georgia's Security and Immigration Compliance Act, including E-Verify registration and compliance certifications. Vendors must also declare willingness to extend pricing and terms to other Metro-Atlanta area entities and surrounding counties, including Fulton, DeKalb, Paulding, Douglas, Bartow, Clayton, Cherokee, Gwinnett, and Forsyth. The contract may be awarded to multiple vendors, and all purchases and services are on an as-needed basis with no guaranteed quantities. No incumbent vendors or existing contractor information is referenced in the solicitation materials. The specific overall contract value or budget range is not disclosed in the available documentation.
