Question & Answer:
Question 1: Amendment #1's answer to our question 2 says we don't need national accreditation, so no timeline is needed. But your Amendment #4 said the 7 AAC 70.030 approval process through DOH DBH can start now, which only makes sense if some approval process is still required. Those two answers don't line up, and we want to make sure we're working from the right one.
Answer: As per the current guidance regarding becoming an approved provider from the Division of Behavioral Health (State of Alaska Department of Health), an offeror must possess, at a minimum, a provisional approval certificate to provide substance use disorder services on behalf of the Department of Corrections. Information regarding the approval of providers of behavioral services can be found at 7 AAC 70.030. Questions regarding approvals should be directed to the Division of Behavioral Health, State of Alaska Department of Health.
Question 2: Can a for-profit staffing agency participate in this RFP and qualify for whatever department approval is required, or is that pathway restricted to nonprofits or political subdivisions?
Answer: Yes, any individual or agency may participate in this RFP. However, the offeror must meet all minimum required experience and qualification criteria outlined in the solicitation. Any questions regarding the approval process should be directed to the Division of Behavioral Health, State of Alaska Department of Health
