This Request for Applications (RFA) aims to establish a mutually beneficial partnership between the Department and a college or university. The goal is to engage qualified Psychiatric Residents that are postgraduate year two (PGY-2) or above, to support psychiatric clinical services at the SMHTF, including Florida State Hospital (FSH), Northeast Florida State Hospital (NEFSH) and North Florida Evaluation and Treatment Center (NFETC), under the supervision of each facility’s attending physician. This college or university affiliation helps NEFSH maintain certification as a behavioral health teaching facility and may enhance recruitment of new Psychiatric Physicians across all three facilities.

Department of Children and Families (DCF) in Florida is using this solicitation to procure medical work. Public agencies typically advertise this kind of work as a Request for Proposals (RFP), evaluating bidders on a combination of qualifications, technical approach, and price. Bidders responding to a medical solicitation in Florida are generally expected to provide proof of liability insurance and workers' compensation coverage, hold any state license or trade certification required for the scope of work, and post performance and payment bonds for contracts above the agency's threshold.
Contracts of this type are usually awarded under the issuing agency's published procurement rules, with bid bond, performance bond, and reference requirements set in the solicitation documents. PublicBidSearch indexes this solicitation alongside other open bids in Florida so contractors and vendors can compare active opportunities by category, agency, or location without monitoring each procurement portal individually.
To submit a proposal for this RFP, review the full solicitation documents for Department of Children and Families (DCF)'s exact scope of work, submission format, and any mandatory pre-bid meeting or site visit. Responses must be received before the June 30, 2026 deadline — public agencies routinely reject late submissions regardless of cause. Confirm how the agency accepts responses — through an electronic procurement portal, as a sealed hard-copy bid, or by email — because the required method varies by agency and a non-conforming submission can be disqualified. Direct questions about scope or specifications to joseph.ruis@myflfamilies.com before the agency's question cut-off date. Vendors that have not previously contracted with Department of Children and Families (DCF) should confirm whether registration on the agency's vendor system is required to be eligible for award.
