This document is a Response to Vendors Questions for the Delaware Department of Health and Social Services (DHSS) Drug Court Diversion Services solicitation (HSS-25-033), dated March 28, 2025. The document addresses three key vendor inquiries: (1) clarifying that proposals must cover the entire program and cannot be submitted for only the drug testing scope of service, (2) explaining that while organizations can submit their proposed administrative/indirect cost rate, the final rate will be determined during contract negotiations based on the selected funding source, and (3) confirming that no pre-proposal conference materials are available, as only a question and answer process was conducted.

The document does not provide comprehensive pricing or funding details but indicates that the contract will involve negotiated indirect rates and requires vendors to support the full drug court diversion services program across Delaware's three counties. The solicitation appears to be seeking comprehensive service providers capable of delivering a range of interventions, including drug testing, assessments, case management, and counseling for individuals in Superior Court and Court of Common Pleas Drug Court programs. Vendors will need to demonstrate capability to serve approximately 825 total clients across New Castle, Kent, and Sussex Counties, with the expectation of providing holistic program support rather than fragmented or specialized services.
