Community-Based Problematic Sexual Behavior (PSB) Treatment Program for Youth

Montgomery County, Pennsylvania's Department of Health and Human Services is seeking a nonprofit or public agency to implement a Community-Based Problematic Sexual Behavior (PSB) Treatment Program for Youth. The initiative targets children ages 3-14, utilizing the evidence-based PSB-CBT model developed by the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. Key deliverables include delivering trauma-informed, family-focused interventions, coordinating with a Multidisciplinary Team comprising law enforcement, child welfare, prosecutors, mental health professionals, schools, and medical providers, and implementing comprehensive outcome data collection. Providers must ensure staff certification in PSB-CBT within three months of program launch and demonstrate capacity to address problematic sexual behaviors through coordinated care. The solicitation (RFP 25-67) requires electronic proposal submission through the Bonfire Portal by January 13, 2026, with required attachments including a W-9 form, Appendix "A" document, organizational history, detailed programmatic responses, budget narrative, and evidence of compliance with IT and data governance policies.

Eligible applicants must maintain good standing with County, State, and Federal oversight bodies and disclose any unresolved audit findings. Preference will be given to Montgomery County-based organizations with prior PSB-CBT experience and established stakeholder relationships. The contract offers an initial funding allocation of $100,000 for the January through June 2026 period, with subsequent year funding to be determined pending state and county budgetary approvals. The procurement includes provisions for local, small, and diverse business concerns, with specific certification requirements for vendors seeking classification under these categories. The contract period spans three years: January 2026 through June 2028, structured across different county contract periods (MH/DD/EI and OCY contracts). Successful providers must demonstrate experience delivering behavioral health services to children and families, ability to implement evidence-based practices, and a history of multidisciplinary team collaboration.
