Crisis Care Services - DSS

The Missouri Department of Social Services Children's Division is seeking vendors to provide Crisis Care Services through a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) solicitation. The procurement covers services to be delivered across the state of Missouri, specifically targeting Clark County and Jefferson City jurisdictions. The contract period will run for one year from the date of award, with vendors required to submit comprehensive proposals addressing various service delivery components. A pre-proposal teleconference is scheduled for May 16, 2022, at 3:00 PM Central Time, and final proposals are due by June 9, 2022, at 2:00 PM CDT. Vendors must submit their responses electronically through the MissouriBUYS system, completing and attaching multiple exhibits including Exhibit A through Exhibit K. The solicitation includes several key attachments that will be used to evaluate proposals, such as a Rating and Scoring Technical Proposal document, a Case Mapping Tool, and a Monthly Report template. Evaluation will likely focus on the technical capabilities, service approach, and comprehensive understanding of crisis care service requirements demonstrated in the vendor's submission.

While the RFP does not explicitly outline any set-aside designations or specific restrictions on vendor participation, all vendors are eligible to respond to the solicitation. No incumbent vendor information is provided, and the documents do not specify any preferential treatment for disadvantaged business enterprises. The total estimated contract value is not disclosed in the available documentation. Payment terms are established at Net 45 days, with delivery specified as Free On Board Destination to the Missouri Department of Social Services Children's Division in Jefferson City. The solicitation provides no clear indication of budget ranges or potential award values, leaving financial aspects open to vendor interpretation. Interested parties are advised to carefully review all attached documents and exhibits to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the requirements and to prepare a competitive proposal that meets the state's crisis care service needs.
