Opportunity Overview
Washington State Department of Transportation, through Washington State Ferries (WSF), is procuring occupational medical surveillance services under RFP 2026-0825. The verified public scope includes regular examinations, testing, clinical evaluation and record keeping for WSF employees working on vessels, in terminals and in maintenance environments.
Deadline and Procurement Status
The official Washington Office of Minority and Women’s Business Enterprises bid notice lists the opportunity as open with a closing date of October 9, 2026. The public OMWBE notice does not state a closing time or time zone. The complete solicitation and any amendments in Washington Electronic Business Solution (WEBS) are controlling, so Atlas does not infer an exact time or time zone from third-party mirrors.
Verified Scope and Qualifications
WSF states that medical surveillance services must support its occupational health and safety programs and align with Washington regulatory requirements and HIPAA compliance. All medical examinations and evaluations must be performed by, or under the supervision of, a licensed physician who is board certified in occupational medicine. Services must accommodate the scheduling needs of employees working across vessels, terminals and maintenance operations.
The contracted provider must submit documentation verifying examinations, written opinions or clearance letters, relevant findings affecting work activities, confirmation that the employee was informed of examination results, and recommendations regarding examination frequency. Required reporting must be provided to WSF Health and Safety and the employee within the timeframe specified by the solicitation.
Funding, Registration, Forms and Addenda
This is a services procurement rather than a grant; no match or cost share applies. The official public notice does not state a contract ceiling or estimated value, so Atlas does not assign one. Detailed pricing requirements, forms, insurance, references, evaluation criteria, subcontracting rules, submission mechanics and addenda must be verified in the controlling WEBS package before bid preparation or outreach.
Contact
The official public notice identifies Tariq Ohab at tariq.ohab@wsdot.wa.gov as the point of contact.
Atlas Assessment
Atlas Opportunity Score: 85/100. This is a current Washington healthcare-workforce procurement with a defined clinical scope and meaningful operational requirements.
N9+ Fit: 15/100 conditional. The solicitation requires medical examinations, but the verified public scope does not establish remote physical examination, telehealth or remote patient monitoring as an allowable or desired delivery method. The Nonagon N9+ remote physical examination platform should not be represented as a fit unless the controlling solicitation permits remote examination workflows and the occupational-medicine clinical requirements can be satisfied.
QC Healthcare Fit: 55/100 conditional. A legitimate QC Healthcare role would require verified ability to furnish or partner with a Washington-licensed physician who is board certified in occupational medicine, support required examination/testing workflows, manage HIPAA-compliant records and satisfy all WEBS vendor requirements. Atlas does not assume those capabilities without verification.
Dr. Miltie direct-bid fit: 0/100 at this stage. Do not advance a direct bid until the full WEBS package is reviewed and vendor qualifications are affirmatively matched.
