RFP 25 8428 DPS Occupational Medical Services

The Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC) has issued Request for Proposal (RFP) 25 8428 for Occupational Medical Services, seeking one or more qualified suppliers to provide comprehensive medical support for their Occupational Health and Safety Programs. The procurement encompasses a wide range of services including pre-employment post-offer examinations, general medical examinations, fitness-for-duty evaluations, exposure response, random drug and alcohol screenings, and Medical Director consultation. Bidders must demonstrate at least five years of occupational medicine experience, maintain multiple service locations in Florida counties, and have a Board Certified Occupational Medicine physician on staff. The RFP requires detailed documentation of physician credentials, service capabilities, and compliance with federal and state testing laws. Proposals are due by July 17, 2025, at 2:00 PM EST, with an anticipated five-year contract term and one potential one-year renewal option. Evaluation criteria will include qualifications, experience, responsiveness to requirements, safety and quality programs, financial soundness, and pricing. OUC will assess bidders' capabilities in electronic scheduling, reporting systems, and nationwide drug screening coverage.

The solicitation does not specify a specific set-aside for disadvantaged enterprises, though the M/WBE goal is listed at 0%. No bid bond or performance bond is required for this procurement. The pricing structure allows for various service packages, including pre-employment examinations, drug testing, physical examinations, and optional services, with potential for zero-dollar placeholders to be completed by bidders. Payment terms include options for 1% discount if paid within 20 days or 3% discount if paid within 10 days, with a standard net 30-day payment period. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of services suggests a significant potential contract value. The RFP emphasizes the need for suppliers to provide all-inclusive costs without additional administrative fees, and all site visits must be pre-approved by OUC's designated representative. The contract aims to establish a robust occupational medical services partnership that can support OUC's ongoing health and safety requirements across multiple service dimensions.
