Domestic Violence and Substance Abuse Se

The State Fiscal Accountability Authority (SFAA), Division of Procurement Services, is soliciting fixed-price bids on behalf of the South Carolina Department of Probation, Parole and Pardon Services (SCDPPPS) for substance use treatment and batterer's intervention services targeting offenders under active supervision statewide. The procurement encompasses two primary service categories: Adult Outpatient Treatment and Intervention Services for Substance Abuse, and Batterer's Intervention Programs for domestic violence perpetrators. Specific deliverables include substance use assessments ($150 per assessment), substance use treatment/counseling ($25 per session), batterer's intervention program assessments ($50 per assessment), and batterer's intervention program treatment/counseling ($25 per session). The initial contract term is one year, beginning August 29, 2023, with four potential one-year renewals, extending the maximum contract period to five years. A non-mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for July 13, 2023, at 10:00 AM EST via Microsoft Teams, with questions due by 4:00 PM EST that same day. Proposals are due July 27, 2023, at 11:00 AM EST, with award notification expected on August 17, 2023. Offerors must submit one original and one redacted copy of their proposal online and be registered as a South Carolina state vendor.

The solicitation does not specify any set-aside designations or preferences for disadvantaged enterprises. Providers are not required to cover all 46 South Carolina counties but must demonstrate responsibility, qualifications, and financial capability. Billing methodologies must align with Medicare/Medicaid standards, and providers must establish sliding scale fees for indigent clients. Any pricing difference between the provider's rate and SCDPPPS' fixed price will be billed directly to the offender. The procurement aims to award contracts to all responsive and responsible offerors, with subsequent bids accepted quarterly following the initial opening. While no specific budget range is listed, the fixed-price structure suggests a flexible, as-needed service model with no guaranteed number of referrals. Services will be provided across the state, targeting offenders requiring substance abuse treatment or intervention for domestic violence, with the primary objective of supporting rehabilitation and reducing recidivism through structured therapeutic programs.
