Behavior Support Services (BCBA & RBT)

The Red Clay Consolidated School District in Delaware issued a Request for Proposal on April 27, 2026, seeking qualified vendors to provide Behavior Support Services delivered by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) across multiple school programs including Autism Services, Early Years Program, and Meadowood Program. The procurement targets approximately 50 students per program and requires vendors to submit hourly rate proposals for both BCBA and RBT services, with all administrative costs incorporated into the hourly fee structure. Qualified vendors must hold current Delaware licensure and certification, demonstrate a minimum of three years of experience in school-based services for students with disabilities, provide evidence of criminal background checks or current Delaware public school employment, and maintain general liability and professional liability insurance with minimum coverage of $1,000,000. Evaluation criteria include experience (0-20 points), ability to serve diverse student populations including multilingual learners (0-20 points), professional learning and staff support capacity (0-15 points), hourly rates (0-15 points), staff supervision and credential management (0-15 points), and administrative support including billing and fiscal analysis (0-15 points). The contract period runs from August 1, 2026, through July 31, 2027, with renewal options available by mutual agreement and at the district's discretion. Proposals must be submitted electronically to bids@dataservice.org by May 20, 2026, at 2:00 PM, with public opening scheduled for the same date and time; award is anticipated within 60 days of the RFP opening, and no pre-bid meeting is required.

The RFP does not specify set-aside designations or restrictions limiting responses to particular organization types or disadvantaged enterprises. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available procurement documents. The district reserves the right to award the contract to multiple vendors and may terminate the contract at any time with 30 days' written notice, with bid deposit and performance bond requirements waived. No specific budget range or award value is listed in the RFP materials, though interested vendors should anticipate developing competitive hourly rate proposals for BCBA and RBT services that will be evaluated against competing bids and other technical criteria. Vendors should submit certificates of insurance before work commences on the contract start date of August 1, 2026.
