Vet. Services - RossCash Farm, Roederer Farm, Blackburn Farm

The Kentucky Correctional Industries is seeking qualified vendors to provide onsite veterinary services for three Department of Corrections farms located in Fredonia, LaGrange, and Lexington, Kentucky. The Request for Proposal (RFP) outlines the need for vendors to examine and treat sick or injured livestock, perform routine procedures, administer medications, and provide consulting services at these farms. Vendors may bid on one, two, or all three farm locations, and the Commonwealth may award contracts to multiple vendors. The contract term is from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2024, with options to renew for up to two additional two-year periods. The evaluation criteria include a mandatory requirement to provide a license to practice veterinary medicine, references, and pricing based on an all-inclusive hourly rate for services. The Commonwealth reserves the right to negotiate a fair and reasonable compensation rate and may reject any or all proposals based on the best interests of the Commonwealth.

The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The Commonwealth did not provide information on any incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFP also did not include any details on possible award values or budget ranges.
