This Extension of Award Posting #1 document, issued by the State of South Carolina State Fiscal Accountability Authority Division of Procurement Services, announces an extension of the posting date for Solicitation 5400029987 regarding Medicaid Rehabilitative Behavioral Health Services (RBHS). The solicitation targets multi-agency utilization, with the South Carolina Department of Social Services designated as the lead agency and the Department of Behavioral Health and Development Disabilities as a co-using agency. Services encompassed include assessment services, service plan development, psychotherapy services, and community support services for Medicaid-enrolled children under age 21. The original response deadline was September 8, 2026 at 11:00 AM ET; however, this extension document, issued September 25, 2026, postpones the posting date until further notice. Offerors will receive three business days' advance notification before the Notice of Award is posted on www.procurement.sc.gov. The contract term runs from October 2, 2026 through October 1, 2031, with automatic annual renewal for successive one-year periods unless the state provides thirty days' notice not to renew. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference was scheduled for August 20, 2026 via Teams.

Pricing for this solicitation is fixed as established by the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, with current rates provided in the Program Information Sheet. Eligibility is restricted to enrolled Medicaid RBHS providers only, creating a hard filter that disqualifies non-enrolled entities. Contractors must maintain Commercial General Liability insurance ($1,000,000 per occurrence minimum), Abuse or Molestation Insurance ($1,000,000 per occurrence minimum), and Information Security and Privacy insurance ($1,000,000 per claim and $2,000,000 aggregate minimum). Monthly documentation of services is required. Provider awards will be terminated if the provider is excluded from Medicaid during the contract term. Offerors must be registered South Carolina vendors and demonstrate responsibility and capability to perform the work.
