Oral Surgery NESTU/NCSTU

The Pennsylvania Department of Human Services is seeking a contractor to provide oral surgery services for two secure treatment units: the North Central Secure Treatment Unit (NCSTU) in Danville and the Northeast Secure Treatment Unit (NESTU) in Pittston. The procurement targets a Board Certified oral surgeon who can perform comprehensive oral surgical services for resident consumers, including examinations, diagnoses, medical treatments, and follow-up care. The contract is structured as a two-year Purchase Order with potential renewal options for up to three additional one-year terms. Qualified bidders must maintain an office within a 50-mile radius and provide services during standard working hours (Monday through Friday, 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM). Key submission requirements include pricing sheets, proof of Board Certified License, malpractice and liability insurance documentation, and a completed Workers Protection and Investment Certification. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsible and responsive bidder, with evaluation criteria emphasizing staff qualifications and service availability. The proposal submission deadline is September 23, 2025, with the contract opportunity originally posted on August 19, 2025.

The procurement does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Contractors must comply with Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) requirements, including providing a zero-tolerance sexual abuse and harassment pamphlet and potentially participating in additional Department of Human Services training. The solicitation covers three jurisdictions: Luzerne County, Monroe County, and Philadelphia City. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, reimbursement will be strictly based on services performed and accepted by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Invoicing will be processed through the DHS Loysville Complex Accounting Department, with verification and approval conducted by the Facility Contract Monitor. The oral surgery services will be performed at the contractor's facility when procedures cannot be conducted at the Department's secure treatment units, indicating flexibility in service delivery location while maintaining proximity requirements.
