Medical and Dental Services

The government authority in Tucson, Arizona is seeking professional medical and dental practitioners to provide services on a cost-per-service basis for children enrolled in the Head Start or Early Head Start programs. The target population generally consists of children between the ages of three and five years old, with occasional services required for younger children or pregnant women. All contracted work must be performed onsite at the vendor and clinic locations. The medical scope of work requires scheduled well-child checks, baby checks, physical exams, and immunizations. Initial examinations will cover approximately 50 children across all providers, with an expectation that about 25 percent of these patients will require follow-up care. Practitioners must note any need for follow-up or further services on the physical exam form and notify the family at the end of the initial examination. The dental scope of work encompasses standard dental preventative and treatment procedures, as well as urgent restorative care when necessary. Initial dental examinations will be provided to approximately 50 children, with an expectation that about 50 percent of these patients will require follow-up care.

Eligibility is limited to onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency is looking for proposals to establish the budget and cost structure for these services.
