Operation of a 60-Bed Skilled Nursing Services Program within the Coxsackie Regional Medical Unit

The New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision (NYSDOCCS) is seeking proposals for the operation of a 60-bed Skilled Nursing Services Program at the Coxsackie Regional Medical Unit. The contract aims to ensure 24/7 management and staffing of the facility in accordance with relevant state regulations, specifically 10 NYCRR Section 415, and community healthcare standards. Interested vendors must attend a mandatory site visit scheduled for August 27, 2024, at the Coxsackie Correctional Facility, with pre-registration required by August 22, 2024. The contract is anticipated to commence around January 1, 2025, and continue through December 31, 2030, with a project value estimated between five and fifteen million dollars. The location for service delivery is in Greene County at the Coxsackie Correctional Facility. The procurement emphasizes diversity and inclusion, with set goals of 15% for women-owned and minority-owned subcontracting, while there are no specific goals for service-disabled veteran or disadvantaged-owned businesses. The contract is not set aside specifically for service-disabled veteran-owned businesses. Bidders with similar contracts within the past five years, such as Yes Care in Tennessee, are noted, indicating potential experience requirements. The solicitation is posted publicly, and interested vendors can access further details through the provided online link. The project underscores the importance of compliance with healthcare standards within a correctional setting and aims to secure qualified vendors capable of managing a comprehensive skilled nursing program within a correctional environment.
