Source-Control Status
Washington Cowlitz Indian Tribe RFP26.18.014 — Salmon Creek Clinic Tenant Improvement Project is a fully source-verified Washington healthcare-infrastructure construction procurement. This Atlas record is intentionally held in draft because it is a direct-vendor construction RFP rather than an applicant grant and no defensible N9+ or QC Healthcare prime-contractor path is currently verified.
Verified Scope
The Cowlitz Indian Tribe is soliciting construction services for tenant improvements at 3102 NE 134th St, Vancouver, Washington. The RFP is for the entire project and uses a lump-sum structure. Addendum No. 1 confirms the planned facility will be a healthcare clinic, covers approximately 23,500 square feet, intends to use the entire facility, has no established project budget, and currently has no staffing plan or medical-equipment list. Existing building systems may be reused when usable in the final design.
Deadline and Submission Control
Sealed hardcopy proposals are due September 23, 2026 at 3:00 PM PST at Cowlitz Indian Tribe Public Works, 929 Fir Street, Longview, Washington. Two hard copies are required. The RFP also requires an electronic copy to Vanessa Steffensen the following morning and warns that emailing the electronic proposal before the hardcopy due date and time disqualifies the bid. Addendum No. 1 states the electronic copy is due by 5:00 PM. The signed Addendum No. 1 must be acknowledged with the submission package or the bidder may be disqualified.
Bidder Controls
The proposal must demonstrate professional capability and availability, including assigned staff qualifications and roles, similar-project experience, proposed staffing, work-plan and schedule information, a schedule of values, and at least three recent-performance references. Cowlitz procurement requirements and the controlling RFP package govern the response.
Direct-Vendor Fit Control
This is a construction procurement, not an applicant funding opportunity. N9+ fit is 0/100 because the verified scope is tenant-improvement design/construction and no medical-equipment procurement is established. QC Healthcare is not cleared as a prime contractor because no documented general-contractor or architectural qualifications and comparable construction references were verified. No applicant-style outreach should be sent and no speculative N9+ or QC Healthcare CRM pursuit should be created.
Next Action
Monitor the Cowlitz procurement page for any further addenda through the bid deadline. Revisit a direct-vendor pursuit only if a legitimately qualified construction entity or partner with the required credentials and references is verified. Otherwise retain this record as Washington healthcare-infrastructure procurement intelligence without bid preparation or outreach.
