Oral Health 2. 0 Curriculum

The Florida Department of Health is seeking a qualified dentist or dental hygienist to develop and deliver the Oral Health 2.0 Curriculum, a comprehensive continuing education program focused on critical oral health topics. The primary contractor must be a Florida-licensed professional with a minimum of five years of experience in public health dentistry or academic settings. The curriculum will cover essential health areas including periodontal disease, oral pathology, systemic and oral health links, obesity, dental caries, common risk factors, sugar-sweetened beverage consumption, and dental treatment importance. The contract requires the delivery of at least four training sessions annually, with each session divided into two 2-hour parts, and mandates reaching a minimum of 120 unduplicated attendees during the initial term and 50 unduplicated attendees per renewal term. The procurement will be evaluated using a point-based system, with up to 400 points awarded for technical proposals and 150 points for cost proposals, with the most advantageous proposal receiving the award. The proposal submission deadline is March 25, 2025, at 3:00 PM, with an anticipated award posting on April 8, 2025, and the initial contract term running from April 15, 2025, through August 31, 2026, with potential for up to three one-year renewal options.

The Request for Proposal (RFP DOH23-033) does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contract is structured as a fixed price, unit cost, and fixed fee arrangement, to be awarded to a single provider. While no specific funding amount or source is explicitly detailed in the RFP, the pricing proposal must include curriculum development costs for the initial term and per-session training costs for both the initial and potential renewal terms. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure that might require integration. The contract appears designed to be a standalone educational initiative focused on oral health continuing education. The evaluation will be comprehensive, considering both technical expertise and cost-effectiveness, with the goal of selecting a contractor who can effectively deliver high-quality, impactful oral health education to healthcare professionals.
