RFP 34-22 FMLA 2nd & 3rd Opinions

The Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority (MBTA) has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for FMLA 2nd & 3rd Opinions services. The MBTA is seeking a third-party vendor to arrange independent medical exams for FMLA 2nd and 3rd medical opinions for individual employees. The selected contractor will work alongside the MBTA's third-party administrator to ensure the appropriate provider is selected based on the employee's location and medical condition. The contract will run through May 31, 2025 with two one-year option years at the MBTA's discretion. The RFP details the scope of work, service level requirements, response submission instructions, and the evaluation criteria for technical and price proposals. The MBTA will evaluate responses on a best-value basis, considering both technical merit and price. The RFP outlines specific requirements such as maximum wait times for returning 2nd/3rd opinions and specialist appointments, as well as the need for the contractor to demonstrate the ability to innovate and adapt to the MBTA's changing business model.

The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. While a previous bid, COMMBUYS bid 22-1206-40000-40000-72464, was cancelled, the RFP does not mention any incumbent vendors or current contractors. The RFP provides pricing forms for various medical specialties, but does not include any listed award values or budget ranges.
