About this opportunity
The City of Atlanta, on behalf of the Department of Corrections, is conducting a multi-step sealed bid process for on-call inmate dental services at the Atlanta City Detention Center, with a prequalification phase due June 30, 2026, followed by an Invitation for Bid.
The scope requires a Georgia-licensed dentist with a minimum of ten years of general dentistry experience and at least five years of correctional dental treatment experience. Services include emergency dental care, screenings and examinations within specified timelines (7–14 days for screening, 14 days for examination with diagnostic x-rays), dental hygienist services within 14 days of admission, sedation fillings, extractions of non-restorable teeth, individualized treatment planning, and specialist consultation and referral when necessary. Excluded services include root canals, oral surgery, denture replacement, crowns, bridges, and routine filling replacement. The dentist must attend Quality Assurance and Medical Audit Committee meetings, maintain on-call availability for telephone consultations on Mondays, Wednesdays, or Fridays, and ensure compliance with American Correctional Association standards.
The facility operates at 1,183 capacity with an average daily population of approximately 60 inmates, located at 254 Peachtree Street, S.W. The City will provide two-day advanced notice when on-call services are required. The dentist or an acceptable substitute designee must provide all services and indemnify the City for any claims arising from substitute performance.
A Pre-Solicitation Conference will be noticed separately to provide additional details and address questions. The procurement will proceed from prequalification to formal IFB; the source does not specify contract value, term, or incumbent.
