Opportunity Overview
The Maryland Department of Juvenile Services is issuing an Invitation for Bids to procure on-site dental services for male youth ages 12 through 20 detained at the Baltimore City Juvenile Justice Center. Youth are referred by DJS medical staff and services are performed in the facility’s dental suite.
Deadline
The solicitation is open under BPM058729, alternate identifier 26-MS-BC-001, with a current response deadline of October 5, 2026. The current procurement notice requires vendors interested in the virtual pre-bid conference to RSVP by September 14 at 2:00 PM local time. The controlling eMMA package governs the exact bid-closing time and all amendments.
Eligibility and Qualifications
This is a Small Business Reserve designated procurement and is listed as an IFB with minimum qualifications. The controlling solicitation package governs Maryland dental licensure, staffing, professional credentials, references, insurance, forms, pricing and other mandatory requirements.
N9+ Fit Score: 0/100. This is a specialty dental-services procurement and is not a legitimate N9+ remote physical-examination use case.
QC Healthcare fit: potentially material but conditional. QC may be relevant only if it can lawfully supply the required on-site licensed dental professionals and satisfy the SBR and all other minimum qualifications. Direct-vendor status is NOT TRUE until those capabilities and qualifications are verified.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 84/100. The procurement is a direct healthcare-services opportunity in a correctional/juvenile setting, but the specialty dental licensure and small-business requirements make fit highly qualification-dependent.
Required Next Steps
Retrieve the controlling eMMA package and amendments; verify exact closing time, SBR eligibility, Maryland dentist and staff licenses, staffing availability, experience requirements, references, insurance, controlled-substance/emergency credentials where required, price forms and submission method before any direct-bid classification.
