Outpatient Mental Health and Substance Abuse Centers

NAICS 621420 - Outpatient Mental Health and Substance Abuse Centers encompasses organizations providing comprehensive mental health and substance abuse treatment services on an outpatient basis. These centers offer a range of clinical services including individual and group counseling, psychiatric evaluations, intake assessments, treatment planning, crisis intervention, and medication monitoring. The services are primarily designed to support rehabilitation, mental health management, and substance abuse recovery for diverse populations, including justice-involved individuals, veterans, and community-based clients.

The federal contract awards under this NAICS code predominantly involve the U.S. Department of Justice's Bureau of Prisons and the Department of Veterans Affairs, with contract values ranging from approximately $15,000 to $1.3 million. Typical awards are firm-fixed-price delivery orders or purchase orders with performance periods spanning one to five years. Frequently awarded entities include small businesses such as Western Alternative Corrections, Counseling Services, Stacey Hoyt PhD Inc., and various regional mental health and treatment organizations. Most awards are not set aside, though some are specifically designated for small businesses, women-owned businesses, or minority-owned enterprises. Common places of performance include major metropolitan areas across the United States, with a focus on locations near federal correctional facilities or veterans' healthcare centers.

Recent federal contract opportunities in this NAICS category focus on community-based outpatient treatment services for specific geographic regions, predominantly solicited by the U.S. Probation & Pretrial Services and the Bureau of Prisons. These opportunities request comprehensive mental health and substance abuse treatment services, including clinical assessments, individual and group counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy, and integrated treatment for co-occurring disorders. Solicitations are typically set aside for specific small business categories like 8(a) firms, with performance locations including areas in Alaska, Texas, New York, and other states. The opportunities consistently emphasize the need for licensed clinicians, evidence-based treatment approaches, and the ability to provide services within specific geographic radii and near public transportation.
