About this file
This is a Questions and Responses document from the Maryland Department of Human Services, Social Services Administration (SSA), addressing inquiries regarding a Request for Expressions of Interest (REOI) for Residential Child Care (RCC) services. The SSA is seeking expressions of interest to contract for RCC services across nine program categories in Maryland. Potential providers must submit complete Expression of Interest responses by Monday, January 19, 2026, at 11:59 PM, as specified in Amendment #1. Required submission documents include a Proposal Affidavit (Attachment C), MBE Forms (Attachment D), Certification Regarding Lobbying (Attachment E), Living Wage documentation (Attachment F), Conflict of Interest statement (Attachment G), Non-Disclosure Agreement (Attachment I), Data Sharing Agreement (Attachment J), Program Description (Attachment K), Bidder Offeror Sheet (Attachment P), proof of Maryland Department of Health licensure to provide RCC services, and a Draft Problem Escalation Procedure. Providers must hold current MDH licenses to express interest, and program descriptions should address the specific services being offered rather than providing section-by-section responses to the Scope of Work. Multiple program descriptions are required only when an agency operates facilities providing services under different program categories.
The document clarifies that Attachment A will be provided to providers only if their submission is accepted for contract award. Program descriptions should be submitted on agency letterhead and are the responsibility of the offeror to develop without a provided template. For agencies operating multiple facilities, separate program descriptions are required only when those facilities serve different program categories; facilities serving identical programs under the same agency can be described in a single document. The procurement officer is Sang Kang, and the document was dated December 18, 2025.
