Student and Family Medical Services

Fort Bend Independent School District (FBISD) has issued Request for Qualifications (RFQ) Number 26-001KB for Student and Family Medical Services, seeking a comprehensive healthcare services provider for campus-based and mobile medical programs. The RFQ solicits qualifications for establishing health clinics, telemedicine services, and mobile medical units that will provide healthcare services to students, families, and staff at no or low direct cost to the district. Vendors will be permitted to bill Medicaid, private insurance, collect co-pays, or implement sliding scale costs for uninsured families. The solicitation opened on August 14, 2025, with a pre-qualification meeting scheduled for September 3, 2025, and qualifications due by September 18, 2025, at 10:00 AM CST. Evaluation will occur on a 100-point system, with points allocated as follows: firm's approach (20 points), methodology (30 points), qualifications (25 points), past experience (15 points), and references (10 points). The anticipated contract period is five years, with an option to renew for an additional five-year term, and potential awards expected in January 2026.

The RFQ does not explicitly designate specific set-aside provisions for disadvantaged enterprises, though the district's General Provisions indicate a Supplier Diversity Initiative that encourages small business participation, defined as entities with less than 50 employees and/or less than $3 million in annual business volume. Vendors must undergo comprehensive background checks, comply with the National Child Protection Act, and provide qualified healthcare professionals who can work within district facilities. While no specific budget range is mentioned, vendors will be expected to self-fund operations through insurance billing and sliding scale fees. All potential vendors must complete multiple compliance documents, including Conflict of Interest Questionnaires, Suspension and Debarment Certifications, and Form 1295 disclosing interested parties. Additional requirements include maintaining comprehensive insurance coverage, adhering to federal grant provisions, and complying with data protection guidelines outlined in the district's Data Protection Agreement Addendum.
