Compulsive Problem Gambling Treatment Services

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs is issuing an Invitation to Qualify (ITQ 569-613) to establish a qualified vendor pool for compulsive problem gambling treatment and intervention services to Pennsylvania residents, with qualification submissions accepted electronically through the JAGGAER portal through January 31, 2036.

Prospective suppliers must complete a multi-step registration process: first register as a PA Supplier through the PA Supplier Portal at https://pasupplierportal.state.pa.us/irj/portal/anonymous to obtain a vendor number, then create a user profile in the JAGGAER portal at https://solutions.sciquest.com/apps/Router/SupplierLogin?CustOrg=CommonwealthPA to submit all qualification materials electronically. Technical support for JAGGAER is available at 1-800-233-1121 (option 2).

Contract terms extend from the Commencement Date through the Expiration Date specified in the executed contract, with provisions for renewal for one additional five-year term upon written notice from the Commonwealth prior to expiration. The Commonwealth may also extend any single contract term for up to three months on the same terms.

Contractors must maintain minimum insurance of $250,000 per person and $1,000,000 per occurrence for workers' compensation and public liability. All employees must meet enhanced minimum wage requirements of no less than $15.00 per hour, adjusted annually for cost-of-living, and pass background checks if accessing Commonwealth facilities. Contractors must comply with Pennsylvania labor and worker safety laws, nondiscrimination and sexual harassment policies, Americans with Disabilities Act requirements, and data protection and breach notification compliance standards. The Commonwealth retains audit rights over contractor books, documents, and records relating to costs and pricing data, with records preserved for three years from final payment. Payment is made via ACH within 30 days of proper invoice receipt. The Commonwealth reserves the right to terminate for convenience, non-appropriation, or cause.
