25-RFA-13800 Addendum 3.pdf

This is a Solicitation Addendum (Addendum 3) issued by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services, Bureau of Procurement and Contract Management, for the Family Support Programs Request for Proposals (RFA 25-RFA-13800). The addendum announces the final question and response document pertaining to formal inquiries submitted by potential applicants. Applications are due October 13, 2026 at 12:00 PM EST. The Department seeks to implement Evidence-Based Home Visiting (EBHV) Family Support Programs across Pennsylvania's 67 counties, with a priority to maintain at least one program in each county. Applicants must select at least one approved EBHV model from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children & Families HomVEE list. The initial contract term is two years, renewable for up to three additional one-year periods based on performance. Programs must maintain an 85 percent enrollment target relative to approved service capacity and comply with virtual home visiting policy requiring a minimum 85 percent in-person visit rate.

Pricing is based on applicant cost submittal and evaluated on feasibility and reasonableness relative to proposed activities and per-family service costs. Applicants must perform at least 50 percent of total contract costs themselves and are fully responsible for subcontracted services. No minimum or maximum award amount is specified; this is a cost reimbursement grant structure. Grantees must submit three years of audited financial statements and comply with federal uniform administrative requirements (2 C.F.R. Parts 200 and 300, 45 C.F.R. Part 75). Organizations expending $1 million or more in federal awards require single audits; those expending less must undergo compliance attestations. All funding is subject to state and federal appropriation availability. Grantees serving the same area with the same EBHV model as another selected grantee must collaborate to avoid duplication.
