Oakland County Jail Healthcare and Pharmaceutical Services RFP

The Oakland County Procurement Division is soliciting proposals for a comprehensive Inmate Health Program for the Oakland County Sheriff's Office (OCSO) Correctional Facilities, specifically targeting healthcare and pharmaceutical services for two facilities with a current capacity of 1,664 inmates and an average daily population of 1,146 in 2024. The Request for Proposal (RFP) seeks a turnkey healthcare management system that meets National Commission on Correctional Health Care (NCCHC) standards, covering services including intake screening, health appraisals, medical and dental care, emergency services, medication management, laboratory and radiological services, and off-site referrals. Bidders must demonstrate at least five years of correctional healthcare experience and the ability to manage facilities with 1,400-1,600 inmates. The evaluation criteria will allocate 110 points across professional experience (30 points), clinical capability (30 points), references (10 points), staffing plan (20 points), and price proposal (20 points). Mandatory pre-bid conferences are scheduled for July 10th, 15th, and 17th, 2025, at 1:00 PM EST, with attendance limited to ten attendees per session and requiring advance registration by July 7th. The proposal is due on August 27, 2025, with the contract structured as a three-year agreement and a potential two-year extension option.

The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract requires comprehensive insurance coverage, including Commercial General Liability ($1,000,000 per occurrence), Workers' Compensation, Commercial Automobile Liability ($1,000,000 combined single limit), and Commercial Umbrella/Excess Liability Insurance ($4,000,000 minimum limits). Optional supplemental coverages include Professional Liability, Cyber Liability, and Medical Malpractice Insurance, each with $5,000,000 per claim and aggregate limits. While no incumbent vendor is mentioned, the county will be the last resort payor for off-site services, requiring bidders to exhaust all third-party billing options, including insurance and Medicaid. The pricing structure must account for potential population fluctuations, with specific considerations for pre-book hospitalization, in-custody hospitalization, on-site medical expenses, and off-site specialist services. Although a precise budget range is not specified, the comprehensive nature of the services and the facility's size suggest a substantial contract value commensurate with providing full healthcare services for over 1,100 inmates.
