This document consists of amendment schedules for Request for Proposals #35910-12703 issued by the Tennessee Department of Children's Services for Statewide Home Study Services across six geographic regions. The RFP was originally issued on October 13, 2025, with subsequent amendments updating the project timeline. Amendment #2, dated November 26, 2025, and Amendment #3, dated December 8, 2025, revise the schedule of events for proposal submission and evaluation. Key deadlines include a disability accommodation request deadline of October 17, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. Central Time; a notice of intent to respond deadline of October 20, 2025; written questions and comments deadline of October 23, 2025; and a final response deadline of December 17, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. Central Time per Amendment #3. The state will complete technical response evaluations by January 9, 2026, open and score cost proposals on January 13, 2026, and conduct negotiations on January 15-16, 2026. The state notice of intent to award will be released on January 20, 2026, with the open file period ending on January 27, 2026 at 4:30 p.m. Central Time. The state will send the contract to the selected contractor on January 28, 2026, with a contractor signature deadline of January 29, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Central Time.

The RFP encompasses six separate contracts for home study services including evaluations for traditional foster parent applicants, Interstate Compact on Placement of Children referrals, and court-ordered home assessments. Proposers must demonstrate the capacity to complete 80 percent of home studies within 89 days. The evaluation process utilizes a 100-point scoring system with 25 points for general qualifications and experience, 45 points for technical qualifications and approach, and 30 points for cost. Cost proposals will require separate rates for traditional home studies, ICPC studies, and orders of reference for each of the six regions. The initial contract term will commence from the effective date and includes options for up to four 12-month renewals, not to exceed a total contract period of 60 months. The state has committed to providing procurement opportunities to diverse business enterprises, including minority-owned, women-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, disability-owned, and small business enterprises.
