This is Amendment 3 to a Request for Proposals issued by the Tennessee Department of Correction for Evidence-Based Programming services. The amendment updates the RFP schedule of events with revised dates for all procurement milestones. Key dates include a pre-response conference on April 7, 2026; a Notice of Intent to Respond deadline of April 8, 2026; a written questions and comments deadline of April 15, 2026; a response deadline of May 13, 2026; technical evaluation completion by May 20, 2026; cost proposal opening and scoring on May 21, 2026; State Notice of Intent to Award release on May 28, 2026; the end of the protest period on June 4, 2026; and a contractor signature deadline of June 16, 2026. The RFP pertains to the delivery of cognitive-behavioral interventions addressing criminal thinking and behavior patterns through in-person and virtual classroom solutions across TDOC Community Supervision field offices and Day Reporting Centers statewide. The contract will be effective for twelve months beginning October 1, 2025, with options for up to four additional twelve-month renewal periods.

The amendment specifies that all revisions are effective upon release, and all other terms and conditions of the original RFP remain in full force and effect. The file does not contain pricing information, set-aside designations, incumbent vendor identification, or funding source details, as these elements are addressed in the primary RFP documents rather than in this amendment. Contractors must meet qualification requirements including general experience (25 evaluation points), technical qualifications and approach (45 evaluation points), and cost proposal competitiveness (30 evaluation points), with compensation structured as a fully burdened, all-inclusive cost per scheduled weekly class, with the State guaranteeing a minimum of 4,615 scheduled weekly classes annually.
