About this file
This is an Addendum to Request for Proposals NHJB-2025-04 issued by the State of New Hampshire Judicial Branch Administrative Office of the Courts, providing official responses to seven questions submitted by potential respondents regarding licensed medical provider oversight of drug testing for the Family Treatment Court in Sullivan County. The RFP seeks a qualified medical provider to deliver clinical oversight of drug testing within the FTC program, ensuring compliance with FTC Best Practice Standards and insurance billing eligibility. Vendors must hold current licensure as a Medical Doctor, Doctor of Osteopathy, Nurse Assistant, or Physician Assistant in New Hampshire or Vermont, with demonstrable experience in substance use disorder treatment or medical review officer functions. The FTC in Sullivan County has accommodated up to 25 parents enrolled concurrently. Final proposals are due December 5, 2025 at 11:59 PM, with anticipated oral presentations and interviews on December 10, 2025, and vendor selection notification by December 31, 2025. The contract will be effective through September 30, 2026, with two optional one-year renewal periods contingent on satisfactory performance and NHJB approval.
The addendum clarifies that vendors may propose the frequency and format of FTC multidisciplinary team meeting participation, with virtual attendance permitted. Regarding Vermont Medicaid billing, vendors must be capable of billing drug testing services to Vermont Medicaid no later than March 2026, and licensure requirements are limited to those typically mandated by NH and VT insurances rather than dual licensure across both states. Telehealth services are acceptable for medical oversight duties, and UA collections are coordinated by the FTC Case Manager, with NHJB currently using DNA-verified drug tests through Peak Outcome Partners. The specific contract price will be determined through negotiations with no preset maximum disclosed. Vendors must maintain professional and general liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, and out-of-state vendors must obtain a Certificate of Authority to transact business in New Hampshire and maintain active SAM.gov registration.
