Child Abuse and Prevention Treatment Act (CAPTA) - Plans of Safe Care

The Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF), Office of Child and Family Well-Being, is seeking a Respondent to expand on their existing early intervention and home visitation services for at-risk pregnant women, parents/caregivers using substances, and infants affected by substances and their families. The selected Respondent must implement an evidence-based home visiting model to improve the rate of positive child development and behavior for the substance-affected infants and their families, as well as create individualized Plans of Safe Care and provide referrals for voluntary services. The anticipated contract term is from 08/01/2024 through 06/30/2027, with potential for renewal, and is funded through the Child Abuse Prevention And Treatment Act (CAPTA) Grant. All proposals must be submitted electronically by 06/10/2024, and the DCF reserves the right to award to multiple Respondents, reject all proposals, or cancel the procurement at its discretion.

The DCF does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. However, the Respondent must have existing evidence-based services for early intervention and home visitation for the target population and currently be providing services in Florida. The contract is a cost reimbursement multi-year contract, with the provider to be reimbursed for allowable expenditures for the delivery of services not to exceed a specified amount over the contract term. The contract also includes detailed performance measures and financial consequences for failure to meet the measures.
