The procurement, identified as RFP DOH24-025, requires the contractor to create a four-part training program divided into two two-hour sessions covering critical oral health topics including periodontal disease, oral pathology, systemic health links, obesity, dental caries, and sugar-sweetened beverage prevention strategies. Proposing organizations must have at least five years of experience in public health dentistry, dental school, or dental hygiene school academia. The evaluation will be based on a total of 650 points, with 400 points allocated to the technical proposal and 150 points to the cost proposal. The initial contract term will run from contract execution to August 31, 2026, with potential renewals for up to three additional years. Proposals are due by June 24, 2025, with an anticipated contract award date of July 15, 2025. Key deliverables include developing curriculum materials, creating webinar invitations, conducting quarterly virtual training sessions, providing continuing education credits, and submitting quarterly progress reports.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The contractor must conduct quarterly virtual training sessions and establish partnerships with dental and medical professional associations, with a requirement to reach a minimum of 120 unduplicated attendees during the initial contract term and at least 50 unduplicated attendees in subsequent renewal terms. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the RFP indicates this is a fixed-price contract. The training will target medical and dental health providers across Leon County and potentially statewide, focusing on improving oral health education and awareness. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure that might require integration. The contractor will be responsible for all aspects of curriculum development, delivery, and reporting, with an emphasis on creating a comprehensive educational program that addresses critical oral health challenges and promotes preventative care strategies.
