About this opportunity
The Tennessee Department of Correction is soliciting grant proposals for community-based treatment services and alternative sentencing programs through RFGP #32952-13007. The procurement seeks qualified governmental entities and private agencies to develop comprehensive community corrections services, with a primary focus on Day Reporting Centers and evidence-based programming for non-violent felony offenders. Proposed services must include supervision, substance use treatment, counseling, employment assistance, and education services. Key deliverables include monthly supervision and program reporting, risk/needs assessments completed within 45 days of supervision, and maintaining 90% compliance on performance measures. Staff requirements mandate baccalaureate degrees for case officers and master's-level clinical licensure for program managers. All treatment providers must be licensed through the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services. Critical procurement dates include a mandatory pre-response conference on February 10, 2025, written questions due by February 18, 2025, and grant responses due by April 4, 2025, with a contract term spanning 36 months from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2028.
The solicitation encourages participation from minority-owned, women-owned, and small business enterprises, with specific evaluation criteria allocating points across general qualifications (20 points), documentation of need (27 points), technical approach (20 points), community involvement (17 points), and budget evaluation (16 points). Organizations must demonstrate community support through letters from local officials including judges, district attorneys, public defenders, and sheriffs. Day Reporting Center proposals are restricted from Memphis, Jackson, Nashville, Murfreesboro, Columbia, Chattanooga, Knoxville, and Johnson City, as the state currently operates seven state-owned centers with plans to open an eighth in Columbia. Grantees are required to collect $15 monthly supervision fees and $30 Criminal Injury Compensation fees from offenders. Insurance requirements include $1 million commercial general liability per occurrence and $5 million aggregate coverage. Indirect costs are limited to 20% of total direct costs or $100,000, whichever is less. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the grant emphasizes competitive pricing and comprehensive community-based offender rehabilitation services.
