251233 Opioid Treatment Programs

The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, through the Department of Public Health's Bureau of Substance Addiction Services, is procuring Opioid Treatment Programs (OTPs) to provide a range of outpatient and residential services for individuals with opioid use disorders. The procurement, designated as RFR #251233, seeks qualified vendors to offer medication-assisted treatment, counseling, care coordination, and other evidence-based interventions. Key requirements include licensing and certification as an OTP, demonstrated ability to deliver culturally and linguistically appropriate services, and commitment to the state's Supplier Diversity Program. The contract term is for 3 years with two 1-year renewal options. Proposals are due by June 30, 2033, and a mandatory bidder's conference will be held on an unspecified date. The procurement is funded through a combination of state and federal opioid response grants, with a total estimated value of $15 million annually.

The solicitation encourages participation from minority-owned, women-owned, and small businesses, with set-aside goals of 10% MBE and 6% WBE participation. While the incumbent providers are not explicitly identified, the RFP references the need to prevent service interruptions for currently funded vendors. Pricing for the contracts will be based on fixed, unit-based rates for each service type, with no specified maximum contract value. Eligible applicants must demonstrate the capacity to meet all state and federal requirements for OTP certification and licensing.
