DCT/ MSOP Clinical Supervision

The Minnesota Department of Human Services, Direct Care and Treatment (DCT) division of the Minnesota Sex Offender Program (MSOP), is soliciting proposals for clinical supervision toward licensure in four professional areas—Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC), and Licensed Psychologist (LP)—with proposals due July 29, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. Central Time. Multiple qualified responders may be awarded master contracts under this RFP.

Qualified responders must hold active licenses in their respective professional boards, have at least five years of experience providing sex offense specific treatment, and meet Minnesota Statutes supervisory requirements as approved supervisors. Clinical supervision will be delivered in individual or group settings, in-person or virtual, at the program's Moose Lake facility, St. Peter facility, or other agreed-upon locations.

The anticipated contract term runs August 15, 2026 through June 30, 2028, with an option to extend up to an additional three years in State-determined increments. Compensation is structured as maximum hourly rates for individual and group supervision, submitted as Attachment C (Cost Detail). The State will not pay separately for travel, overtime, or other charges beyond the specified hourly rates.

Evaluation occurs in three phases. Phase 1 assesses responsiveness and pass/fail mandatory requirements. Phase 2 scores proposals on work plan (200 points), qualifications and experience (400 points), references (100 points), and cost detail (300 points), with up to 120 preference points available for targeted group, economically disadvantaged, and veteran-owned businesses. Phase 3 selects finalist(s) based on best value. The State reserves the right to reject any or all responses, negotiate with highest-scoring responders, and award to single or multiple responders. Responders should submit proposals to MN Direct Care and Treatment, 3200 LaBore Road, Suite 104, Vadnais Heights, Minnesota 55110-5186.
