Things to watch (4)
From the version posted Oct 13, 2026.
- Worth checking: This is an RFI, not a solicitation. Responding doesn't put a firm in the later competition and not responding doesn't shut it out; no offers are taken now.
- Worth checking: Facility must be near the area and meet zoning and code rules. The later contract needs a zoned, permitted facility, ideally within one mile of public transportation, in the listed counties.
- Worth checking: Round-the-clock staffing. The statement of work requires awake, paid, trained staff on the premises 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Show all 4Show fewer
- Minor: Limit on subcontracting. The contractor must use its own paid employees for at least 70 percent of the contract requirements.
