RFP Provision of Medical Services for SPD

The City of Syracuse is soliciting proposals from New York State licensed organizations and physicians to provide occupational medical services for the Syracuse Police Department. The scope of work includes performing fit-for-duty, return-to-work, and independent medical examinations, as well as gas mask fitness tests, 12-panel observed drug screenings, and blood alcohol level testing. All services must be conducted at the vendor's facility during standard business hours, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., and telehealth services are strictly prohibited. The selected provider must be accredited in Occupational Medicine and designate a coordinator to manage scheduling and outcomes with SPD Human Resources. Proposals are due by November 20, 2026, via the OpenGov portal. An RFP committee will evaluate submissions based on team competency, relevant public-sector experience, project approach, professional capacity, and client references, with a preference for local experience. Required documentation includes a cover letter, a non-collusive certification, a workforce diversity form, and a non-discrimination questionnaire. Awarded vendors must maintain specific insurance standards, excluding claims-made insurance, and comply with New York State prevailing wage requirements where applicable. Payments are issued monthly based on services performed, subject to a 5% retainage until final acceptance by the City.
