About this file
This Solicitation Addendum, issued by the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services, Bureau of Procurement and Contract Management, amends Request for Proposals 25-RFA-13800 for Family Support Programs. The addendum clarifies the Department's intent to include Family Centers within the scope of Evidence-Based Home Visiting (EBHV) programs and modifies specific sections of the original RFA. The amended RFA maintains the October 13, 2026 application deadline at 12:00 PM and requires applicants to implement EBHV services across Pennsylvania's 67 counties using approved models. Key modifications include incorporating Family Centers as program enhancements and revising language in Section I-3 to reflect that home visiting services, including those delivered through Family Centers, should be provided in families' natural learning environments, with virtual home visits permitted only under specific conditions outlined in Appendix M. A revised Appendix C, Cost Submittal, has been provided and supersedes the previous version.
The addendum specifies that all other terms, conditions, specifications, and instructions of the original solicitation remain unchanged except as clarified by this amendment. Applicants must include this addendum with their proposal responses submitted to the designated Resource Account by the due date. Organizations must select at least one approved EBHV model from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children & Families HomVEE list and may propose optional enhancements not exceeding 25 percent of total funding. The agreement structure consists of cost reimbursement grants with a two-year initial term, renewable for up to three additional one-year periods based on performance. Questions regarding the solicitation should be directed to the Issuing Officer, Nadine Chinapoo, at RA-pwRFAquestions@pa.gov or 717-214-8995.

SOLICITATION ADDENDUM
Date: September 16, 2026 Subject: FAMILY SUPPORT PROGRAMS
Solicitation Number: 25-RFA-13800 Due Date/Time: 10/13/2026 12:00 PM
Addendum Number: 1
To All Suppliers:
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania defines a solicitation “Addendum” as an addition to or amendment of the original terms, conditions, specifications, or instructions of a procurement solicitation (e.g., Invitation for Bids or Request for Proposals, etc.).
List any and all changes:
1. A revised Appendix C, Cost Submittal is attached. Please disregard the previous version.
2. The following changes were made to the RFA to reflect the Department’s intent that Family Centers be included in the RFA. These are the only sections being modified; all other sections remain the same.
A. The following language of Section I-3, paragraph four of the RFA is revised as set forth in red text below:
All home visiting programs, including Family Centers, are based on the belief that services delivered in a family’s natural learning environment will have a positive impact, and supporting positive parenting practices can have long-term benefits for child development. Home visitors regularly travel to the caregiver’s home or another natural learning environment to provide the tools, guidance, and support necessary to raise a healthy family. Although EBHV services are intended to be delivered in-person in the home, services may be delivered as a virtual home visit if specific terms and conditions are met. These terms and conditions can be found in Appendix M - Announcement FS 24 #01 Virtual Home Visiting Services.
B. The following language of Section I-3.B.3 of the RFA is revised as set forth in red text below:
Program Enhancements. Program Enhancements are additional approved supports offered to enrolled families beyond that required of the chosen EBHV Model or Models. A Family Center is an example of this type of enhancement.
