The selected contractor(s) will be responsible for furnishing all labor, equipment, supplies, staff, transportation, licenses, permits, and certificates necessary to provide on-site ocular prosthesis services and devices to patients referred from the participating CDCR/CCHCS institutions. Key services include fabricating, fitting, and maintaining custom ocular conformers, prostheses, and scleral shells, as well as providing education to patients and staff. The contract term is 36 months, with an optional 12-month extension. Bids are due by September 26, 2024, and a mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for September 27, 2024.

Bidders must comply with various state requirements, including certifications related to non-collusion, conflicts of interest, and use of generative artificial intelligence. While the total contract award value is $13,200.00, the state does not guarantee a specific volume of business, as services will be provided on an as-needed basis depending on patient referrals and population changes.
