On-Site Dialysis Request for Proposal SD23-00097

The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) and California Correctional Health Care Services (CCHCS) are seeking proposals for on-site dialysis services at four CDCR institutions: the California Health Care Facility, Richard J. Donovan Correctional Facility, San Quentin Rehabilitation Center, and Wasco State Prison. The contractor will be responsible for providing all dialysis equipment, supplies, and staff, including registered nurses, certified hemodialysis technicians, a facility administrator, a licensed clinical social worker, and a registered dietitian. Key requirements include installing a new reverse osmosis water treatment system, maintaining necessary licensure and accreditation, and meeting minimum staffing levels. The contract term is for three years, with two optional one-year extensions. Bidders must attend a mandatory pre-proposal conference on October 4, 2024 and proposals are due by November 1, 2024.

The procurement includes provisions for small business, microbusiness, and disabled veteran business enterprise (DVBE) participation. Bidders seeking these preferences must submit the required forms and documentation. While an incumbent vendor is not specified, the CDCR/CCHCS will provide the awarded contractor with details on existing equipment, medical staff, and laboratory providers. Pricing will be based on a rate sheet, with the total dialysis cost calculated per treatment. The total contract value is not explicitly stated, but the CDCR/CCHCS estimates approximately 41,359 patients will be served over the two-year historical period.
