PUBLIC HEALTH RAPID RESPONSE

NYC Health + Hospitals is seeking to establish a roster of vendors who can be called upon to provide mobile services in response to outbreaks of a wide range of infectious diseases. These services may include, but are not limited to, testing, treatment, prescribing, and/or distributing therapeutics in a mobile capacity.

While it is impossible to predict which specific infectious diseases may emerge in the coming years in New York City, illnesses such as COVID-19, Mpox (formerly Monkeypox), measles, tuberculosis, and others have demonstrated the potential to pose significant risks to the health and safety of New Yorkers. The objective of this RFP is to identify vendors capable of providing mobile infectious disease response services for a variety of diseases when needed.

In the event of activation, NYC Health + Hospitals expects the deployment of five (5) or more mobile units per day, operating five to seven (5-7) days a week, starting immediately after activation. Deployments may last from two (2)  to four (4) weeks for smaller outbreaks, or extend to four (4) months or more for larger, more widespread concerns. Mobile services may include medical care provided from units like Sprinter vans, tents set up on city sidewalks, or at indoor locations that the vendor is responsible for setting up and breaking down.

NYC Health + Hospitals intends to award multiple contracts as a result of this RFP and work assigned during the term of the contract will be at NYC Health + Hospitals’ discretion. No work is guaranteed to the awardee of this RFP. Further, no contract resulting from this RFP is guaranteed to be exclusive
