RFP for On-Site Pharmacy Services and Pharmacy Sublease

Burke Center, a State of Texas mental health and intellectual/developmental disabilities local authority serving eleven counties, is seeking a qualified vendor to provide comprehensive on-site pharmacy services through RFP #103 PHSL. The procurement requires a vendor to deliver full-time on-site pharmacy services at two specific locations: Burke Angelina Mental Health Clinic in Lufkin and Burke Nacogdoches Mental Health Clinic in Nacogdoches. Specific service requirements include prescription filling and dispensing, medication delivery to off-site clinics, blister pack preparation, vaccine administration, prior authorization support, emergency and after-hours medication provision, and electronic health record integration. Proposals are due January 15, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. at Burke Central Administration Building, with an anticipated award date of February 14, 2026. Respondents must submit one original and two copies of their proposal or submit electronically, with evaluation criteria weighted equally at 20 percent across five categories: meeting Burke's needs, ability to perform within contract term, character and experience, compliance with law, and past performance. The initial contract term runs from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2028, with options for two additional two-year renewals.

The RFP does not specify set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. Proposal requirements include detailed documentation such as company background, project management methodology, scope of services, credentials and certifications, current insurance certificates, W-9 forms, three professional references, pricing for services and medications, and conflict of interest questionnaires. Successful respondents must maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including $1 million general liability per occurrence, workers' compensation, $1 million employer liability, $1 million automobile liability, and $1 million/$3 million professional liability, with Burke named as additional insured. The contract is contingent upon continued availability of federal, state, or local funding and may be terminated with 30 days' notice if funds are discontinued. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the RFP includes monthly rental rates of $620 for the Lufkin location (378 square feet) and $520 for the Nacogdoches location (308 square feet), suggesting a potential annual value in the range of pharmacy services and sublease revenues.
