About this opportunity
Pierce County Department of Emergency Management is soliciting capability statements for a directly negotiated purchase of Physician Medical Program Director services under a sole-source procurement exemption, with statements due September 30, 2026.
The exemption rests on a sole-source, special-facility, and/or special-market-condition justification. Pierce County intends to continue contracting with Dr. Clark Waffle, who holds the mandatory Washington State Department of Health (DOH) certification and appointment as Medical Program Director (MPD) of Pierce County under Chapter 18.73 RCW, Chapter 18.71 RCW, and Washington Administrative Code Chapter 246-976. The county has determined that Dr. Waffle is the only provider capable of meeting the minimum requirements imposed by state law due to his current DOH certification and appointment as the county MPD.
Any entity believing it is qualified to meet the identified need must submit a capability statement describing how it meets the minimum qualifications under state law. The contract term is 12 months with a total cost of $74,596.37. Inquiries should be directed to Andrew Robson, Pierce County Finance Department, at (253) 798-6647 or Andrew.robson@piercecountywa.gov.
