Community Health Worker Re-entry Initiative

The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services is awarding a contract for the Community Health Worker Re-entry Initiative to Randolph County Caring Community Partnership under a Single Feasible Source (SFS) determination (State 0000000506SL), with the contract effective through July 31, 2027.

The sole-source justification rests on Randolph County Caring Community Partnership's federally recognized workforce development credentials and federally registered apprenticeship program, which the Department identifies as enabling both academic training and real-world deployment of Community Health Workers in workforce, justice-involved, behavioral health, and re-entry settings. No competing solicitation has been issued.

The scope is workforce development training for Community Health Workers to support justice-involved individuals during re-entry following release. Trained CHWs will connect returning citizens with social support services, including employment resources, housing assistance, behavioral health services, and community programs designed to reduce recidivism and support successful re-entry outcomes.

The contract term extends through July 31, 2027, with four optional one-year renewal periods available. No contract value or pricing terms are disclosed in the posting. Julie Kleffner (573-751-1689, Julie.kleffner@oa.mo.gov) and purchmail@oa.mo.gov serve as the buyer contacts.
