RN/LPN Nursing Services

This is a Request for Proposals (RFP) issued by the Commonwealth of Kentucky, Justice and Public Safety Cabinet, Department of Juvenile Justice for Registered Nurse (RN) and Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN) nursing services. The successful vendor will be required to provide a range of nursing services, including direct care, staff training, medical monitoring, and compliance with applicable regulations and policies, to the Department's youth development centers, detention centers, and group homes across the state. Proposals are due by 3:00 PM EST on June 17, 2022, and the initial contract term is anticipated to be from July 15, 2022, through June 30, 2024, with the option to renew for up to two additional two-year periods. Vendors must submit hourly rates for RN and LPN services, including overtime rates, as part of their cost proposals, which will be evaluated along with technical factors such as experience, availability, and references.

This appears to be a new contract, as no incumbent information is provided. The RFP does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The Commonwealth reserves the right to negotiate a fair and reasonable compensation rate with the highest-ranked vendor and to reject any or all proposals based on the best interests of the state. The funding source for the contract is not explicitly stated, but will be based on the selected vendor's proposed hourly rates.
