DHHS91162 RSFQ Recovery Support Specialist Certification Training

The Utah Department of Health & Human Services (DHHS), specifically the Office of Substance Use and Mental Health (OSUMH), is seeking qualified providers to deliver Recovery Support Specialist Certification Training through a Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFSQ). This solicitation, identified as DHHS91162, is open from March 14, 2024, to September 30, 2028, with responses due by September 30, 2028, at 1:00 PM MDT. The primary objective is to identify and select providers capable of conducting comprehensive certification training for recovery support specialists. Respondents must submit their qualifications via email to Michael Floor at mfloor@utah.gov, with all solicitation documents available on the DHHS procurement website. Questions must be submitted through the SciQuest platform, and while specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the available documentation, the focus appears to be on providers' ability to deliver high-quality, comprehensive certification training in the substance use and mental health support domain.

The solicitation documents do not explicitly specify set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise preferences, or restrictions on responding organizations. No information is provided about incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing infrastructure that might require integration. Similarly, the documentation lacks specific details about potential award values or budget ranges for the recovery support specialist certification training program. The broad timeframe of the solicitation (nearly five years) suggests a potentially significant and ongoing training initiative, but without concrete financial parameters. Interested providers should carefully review the full solicitation documents on the DHHS procurement website and be prepared to demonstrate their capability to deliver high-quality recovery support specialist certification training that meets the state's specific requirements and standards.
