About this file

This amendment to the Request for Qualifications #35910-14926 issued by the Tennessee Department of Children's Services updates the schedule and regional groupings for the Relative Caregiver Program Case Management Services procurement. The RFQ seeks qualified vendors to provide comprehensive case management services including intake and safety assessments, needs assessments, service planning, ongoing case management, home visits, support groups, and administration of RCP stipends across eight regional groups encompassing all Tennessee counties. The revised schedule establishes key deadlines including a Notice of Intent to Respond deadline of May 12, 2026, a written questions and comments deadline of May 15, 2026, and a response submission deadline of June 4, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Central Time. State responses to written questions will be provided by May 28, 2026, with technical evaluations completed by June 15, 2026. The Notice of Intent to Award will be released and RFQ files opened for public inspection on June 17, 2026, with the protest period ending June 24, 2026. The selected contractor must sign the contract by June 29, 2026. The contract term runs five years from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2031, with no renewal options specified.

The amendment replaces the original Table 1 with revised regional groupings that divide Tennessee's counties into eight distinct service areas, with Group 6 covering Shelby County separately and the remaining groups organized by geographic regions throughout the state. Compensation is structured as a fixed rate of $10.00 per day per child served, with maximum annual liabilities ranging from $613,200 to $3,014,900 depending on the regional group and fiscal year. Projected service volumes range from 177 to 826 children per fiscal year depending on the region, with separate contract awards issued for each regional group. All revisions outlined in this amendment became effective upon release, with all other terms and conditions of the original RFQ remaining in full force and effect.
