About this opportunity
The Delaware Division of Developmental Disabilities Services (DDDS) is seeking a Financial Management Services (FMS) provider to implement an Agency with Choice (AWC) model for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities living at home with their families. The selected provider will serve as the Common Law Employer responsible for delivering self-directed support services, specifically for personal care and respite services. Key deliverables include comprehensive financial management services such as employee recruitment, payroll processing, tax reporting, and customer support. Proposers will be evaluated based on experience with Medicaid Home and Community-Based Services, adherence to a person-centered philosophy, and cost-effectiveness. The solicitation was posted on September 5, 2025, with proposals due on October 31, 2025, at 1:00 PM EST, and an anticipated contract award notification date of December 19, 2025. The initial contract term is one year with four optional one-year extensions, and the state anticipates increasing participant enrollment from 475 in State Fiscal Year 2027 to 675 in State Fiscal Year 2031.
The procurement allows for various business classifications, including Minority Business Enterprises (MBE), Woman Business Enterprises (WBE), Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE), Veteran Owned Business Enterprises (VOBE), and Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Business Enterprises (SDVOBE). Vendors must comply with multiple regulatory requirements, including HIPAA regulations, electronic visit verification, background checks, and maintaining detailed documentation in the state's electronic case record system. The payment structure includes a one-time startup fee for each participant and a monthly Per Member Per Month (PMPM) administrative fee, which is only paid for months when services or wages are rendered. Proposers must submit comprehensive documentation, including a Business References Form with a minimum of three business references, a Non-Collusion Statement, and potential subcontractor information. While specific total contract value is not explicitly stated, the increasing participant enrollment suggests a potentially significant opportunity for the selected vendor.
