SCA SERVICES BPA – Solicitation
BACKGROUND
On April 9, 2008, the Second Chance Act (SCA) of 2007, Pub. L. No. 110-199, was enacted.
Section 253 of the Act amended 18 U.S.C. § 3672 to authorize the Director of the Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts (AO) to contract for “treatment, equipment and emergency housing, corrective and preventative guidance and training, and other rehabilitative services designed to protect the public and promote the successful reentry of the offender into the community.” In October of 2008, the Judicial Administration and Technical Amendments Act of 2008, Pub. L.
No. 110-406 (October 13, 2008) (JATAA), significantly enhanced courts’ ability to provide interventions for defendants and offenders under 18 U.S.C. 3672 and 3154(4). This expanded the authority for a wide array of interventions with which probation and pretrial services officers might mitigate specific risks and responsivity factors related to their caseloads.
The statute authorizes “providing necessary services to offenders ... in a manner that does not confer luxuries or privileges upon such offenders” (42 U.S.C. § 17501(a)(4)). Additionally, the Act shall not “be construed as creating a right or entitlement to assistance or services for any individual, program, or grant recipient” (42 U.S.C. § 17504). Congress intended the new authority to be exercised judiciously. Courts must be careful stewards of resources used under this authority.

C – STATEMENT OF WORK
Project Code 3101 – Emergency and Transitional Housing – Unit: Per Day
(a) Project Code Description
Emergency and/or Transitional Housing is for defendants and offenders who require housing to assist in their reentry. Housing should not exceed 90 days, unless an extension is determined appropriate and approved by the Unit Executive. If the vendor requires a lease, any such agreement is between the client and the housing contractor; the Government is not a party to the lease agreement and bears no responsibility or liability for defendants or offenders.
(b) On-site inspections should be conducted prior to the award to ensure that the environment is conducive to the defendants/offender’s rehabilitation without conferring luxuries or privileges. There is no separate provision for the payment of utilities, food allowances, etc., unless these services are included in the rent. The search for permanent residential options should continue during this transitional period. The USPO/USPSO should document these efforts. Officers must reevaluate the need for this service at least every 30 days. Officers should consider a community service condition and/or adding job readiness, vocational training, and other suitable programming to compel defendants and offenders to work actively toward obtaining employment to help achieve self-sufficiency.
(c) Referrals only require as much information as needed for a vendor to assess any reasonably foreseeable third party risk.
(d) Requirements include on-site visits and may include co-payment, if ordered. For housing vendors that provide commercial services (available to the general public), probation form 45s are necessary only for internal tracking. This project code is considered a severable service. Generally, the billing unit should be daily unless an advance payment is required. Advance payment is limited to 30 days, may not be more than 15% of the contract price, and requires the housing to be a commercial service. Security Deposits may also be paid, but one time only. Upon termination, security deposits should be returned. Due to the variety of housing needs, vendor requirements were determined unnecessary for many vendors, such as hotel services, apartments, and housing through individual landlords, (commercial housing vendors). District staff have the option of assessing need or seeking competitive agreements for group homes or sex offender housing services. Housing solicitations for placement of multiple defendants and offenders requires that a probation form 45 be issued to the vendor. If needed, the USPO/USPSO should fashion local needs for requirements such as curfew, no-show reporting, sign-in requirements, programming requirements, and accepting sex offenders.
If vendor requirements are necessary, the Statement of Work and approved local needs must be provided to the vendor upon making the award. If the housing service is considered commercial and vendor requirements are not needed, the waiver of liability, of the statement of work must still be issued to the vendor. Housing is considered a severable service.
Regarding co-payments, if ordered, the vendor shall:
• Collect any co-payment authorized on the program plan/probation form 45 and deduct any collected co-payment from the next invoice to be submitted to the government;
• Provide bills and receipts for co-payments to clients. The vendor shall keep an individualized record of co-payment collection, make it available for USPO/USPSO review, and have systems in place to both follow-up on collection of outstanding amounts and to resolve any discrepancies in amount owed;
• Document within the monthly progress report any co-payment received or whether the expected co-payment was not provided, as well as the amount of any outstanding balance;
• Inform the USPO/USPSO within 3 business days of a client’s failure to make a total of 3 consecutive scheduled co-payments.
• Reimburse the Government in the event a vendor has received a co-payment and not credited it as an offset to a bill for services sent to the government (e.g., a defendant or offender provides a co-payment after the service was rendered or after the account has been closed).
This service is provided by licensed/certified/credentialed individuals who possess the recognized credentials/qualifications of, and fulfills the standards of practice established by his/her professional regulatory body for the purpose of that field to include licensed psychology, licensed clinical social work, and licensed clinical counseling.

I.3 Subcontracting
Services that the vendor proposes to refer to other service providers shall be considered subcontracting. The vendor (prime contractor) may subcontract the provision of treatment services to other service providers (subcontractors). After award, any proposed subcontractor arrangements or changes to the existing subcontractor arrangements are subject to the Contracting Officer’s approval, and shall be submitted in writing to the Contracting Officer at least 30 days in advance of the proposed subcontracting arrangement or change. The Contracting Officer will respond promptly with written approval or disapproval. The prime contractor shall not refer defendants/offenders to any other vendor that has not been approved by the Contracting Officer in writing. The government reserves the right to revoke approval of any subcontractor at any time that does not meet the requirements of this contract/agreement.
The prime contractor is responsible to the judiciary for overall performance of the services required under this contract/agreement. If any services are subcontracted, the prime contractor shall ensure that the subcontractor is complying with the requirements of this
RFQ NO. 0973 2 SCA01
contract/agreement, including the qualifications of any personnel providing services; the possession and maintenance of all appropriate state and local licenses in compliance with state and local regulations; and the appropriate documentation demonstrating compliance with all federal, state and local fire, safety and health codes. The prime contractor shall ensure that subcontractors are not debarred, suspended, or ineligible to perform under federal contracts.
A subcontractor has no contractual rights, known as privity of contract, against the judiciary.
However, the subcontractor may have rights against the prime contractor.
Upon contract termination, the contractor must except as otherwise directed by the CO, terminate all subcontracts to the extent that they relate to performance of the work terminated.

The preliminary notice does not commit the judiciary to an extension.
(b) If the judiciary exercises this option, the extended contract shall be considered to include this option clause.
(c) The total duration of this contract, including the exercise of any options under this clause, shall not exceed 3 years.
