Virtual Autopsy Services

The Ocean County Board of Commissioners is seeking qualified vendors to provide Virtual Autopsy Services through a formal solicitation process, with a project start date of January 1, 2026. The contract, managed by the Medical Examiners Office of New Jersey, is expected to last for one year and has an estimated value ranging from $500,000 to $2,000,000. The scope of work includes advanced imaging techniques such as CT and MRI scans, radiography skeletal surveys, and related autopsy services. Vendors are required to submit comprehensive electronic proposals that demonstrate their qualifications, relevant experience, licensing, insurance coverage, references, and detailed rate schedules. The evaluation criteria focus on the vendors' qualifications, understanding of the scope, experience, and completeness of their submissions, with awards made on a project-specific basis via purchase orders. The solicitation process involves detailed instructions for completing and submitting responses through DocuSign, emphasizing the importance of accurately filling out all required fields, properly loading signed documents, and saving progress to avoid data loss. The documents provide step-by-step guidance to ensure vendors can efficiently navigate the response platform, submit their qualifications, and meet all procedural requirements. The overall initiative aims to enhance forensic autopsy capabilities within Ocean County by leveraging advanced imaging technology, ensuring compliance with legal and procedural standards, and selecting qualified service providers through a transparent and competitive process.
