DFPS is seeking to contract with a licensed Child Placing Agency to conduct initial assessments and home studies for foster, adoptive, and dual licensed homes, as well as monitor foster and/or adoptive placements of children whose home state is outside of Texas. The contract term is anticipated to be one year with two optional one-year renewal terms, and services will be provided in DFPS Regions 6 and 7.

The payment for services will be on a cost reimbursement basis only, and DFPS does not guarantee any minimum level of utilization or funding. Respondents must meet minimum qualifications, including holding a valid Child-Placing Agency license and demonstrating at least three years of experience providing adoption and foster care services to DFPS children and families. The RFP also includes a requirement for respondents to submit a HUB Subcontracting Plan, indicating their intent to utilize Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs) in the performance of the contract. The total contract value is not specified, but funding will come from Medicaid and CHIP administrative funds. There is no mention of an incumbent vendor or current contractor for these services.
