RFP-275-2600000386-1 | Impaired Physical Therapy Practitioners Program

The contract pertains to the Impaired Physical Therapy Practitioners Program, a two-year personal service agreement between the Kentucky Board of Physical Therapy and a non-state vendor, with potential for two additional two-year renewals contingent upon approval by the Finance and Administration Cabinet and the Legislative Research Commission’s Government Contract Review Committee. The work involves compliance-driven services centered on administrative oversight and regulatory adherence, with no detailed operational tasks outlined in the statement of work. The primary deliverable is evidence of compliant insurance coverage, requiring contractors to maintain $1 million per occurrence in commercial general liability, automobile liability, and professional liability insurance, with the Commonwealth named as certificate holder and additional insured, all documented via ACORD forms. Foreign entities must demonstrate authority to operate in Kentucky, and all offerors must provide a Federal Employer Identification Number and proof of registration with the Kentucky Secretary of State, with resident bidders required to submit a notarized affidavit confirming their principal place of business is within the state. Proposals must be submitted electronically through the Kentucky Vendor Self Service portal by May 27, 2026, in three distinct, separately labeled documents—Technical, Cost, and Proprietary Information—each not exceeding 65 MB, and formatted exclusively in Word, Excel, or PDF. Evaluation is based on a 1000-point weighted system: 600 points for technical merit, divided into 300 points for past performance and 300 for qualifications, 300 points for cost efficiency relative to the lowest bid, and 100 points for oral demonstrations if required, with award determined by highest total score using a trade-off approach, not lowest price technically acceptable. Contractors must comply with multiple Kentucky statutes regarding taxes, wages, workers’ compensation, and occupational safety, disclose any violations from the past five years, and affirmatively report any use of generative artificial intelligence in service delivery. Lobbying violations within the last decade and participation in prohibited boycotts disqualify bidders. Invoicing must follow the Legislative Research Commission’s mandated form, payments are processed within 30 working days after acceptance, and no federal contracting systems or standardized FAR clauses apply. The contract has no published estimated value, and no pricing details are disclosed in the solicitation—bidders must submit cost proposals independently. All performance occurs at 312 Whittington Parkway, Suite 102, Louisville, KY, with Jennifer Major serving as the primary contact, though formal COR/COTR designations are not provided
