Randall County releases RFP specs for inmate dental services after longtime provider retires

Randall County Commissioners Court · January 20, 2026

Summary

The court approved specifications for RFP 202662315 to find a new inmate dental services provider after the prior dentist retired; submittals are due Feb. 19 with award anticipated in March and the RFP allows per‑service or monthly flat‑fee pricing.

Randall County approved specifications Jan. 20 for RFP 202662315 seeking a new provider for inmate dental services after the prior provider retired.

County staff said the RFP includes scope, licensing requirements and two pricing options — per‑service line items or a monthly flat fee — and that respondents may submit both pricing approaches. Submittals are due Feb. 19 and staff expects to award the contract after the evaluation team reviews proposals, likely in March. The sheriff’s office representative said the county provides facility infrastructure and that the evaluation committee will include the medical director and a lieutenant.

Why it matters: the county needs continuous dental care for inmates. Officials noted the prior dentist (Dr. Valette) served the county for nearly 30 years before retiring, creating urgency to replace services.

Next steps: the county will publish the RFP on beaconbid.com, accept submittals through Feb. 19, convene an evaluation committee, and bring a recommended award and contract to the court for final approval.
