Noficiation of Upcoming RFP for Medical Consultant Firm or Firms

The Department of Labor & Industries plans to issue a solicitation around October 1, 2025, seeking one or more medical consulting firms to support the Office of the Medical Director in Washington. The contract aims to procure expert medical consultation services, including forensic review of medical files, across multiple specialties to enhance treatment quality and assist with claim management for injured workers statewide. The anticipated contract value ranges from five to fifteen million dollars. Interested vendors must register in Washington’s Electronic Business Solution (WEBS), selecting relevant commodity codes related to health and medical services, as registration is mandatory for notification and participation. The response deadline is set for September 30, 2025, with the actual solicitation and subsequent amendments to be accessible exclusively through WEBS. The contractual framework does not specify particular federal or state clauses, inspection or acceptance procedures, or detailed pricing and delivery schedules. The primary regulatory reference is RCW 39.26, which mandates the use of WEBS for vendor notifications. The scope emphasizes multi-specialty forensic services and expert consultations but lacks explicit technical standards, evaluation criteria, or detailed administrative procedures. No attachments, supporting documents, or specific contract forms are included in the current documentation. Overall, the procurement emphasizes vendor registration, compliance with state registration codes, and the provision of specialized medical services, with further specifics to be clarified upon release of the full solicitation.
