Employee Assistance Program

The State of Nevada, through the Department of Administration's Division of Human Resource Management, is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) for a Statewide Employee Assistance Program (EAP). The selected vendor will be required to provide comprehensive EAP services, including intake assessments by master's-level clinicians, counseling sessions, substance abuse evaluations, and critical incident response services. The scope of work covers approximately 17,753 eligible state employees across Nevada, with services required statewide, including the jurisdiction of Carson City. Proposals must address the program's minimum requirements, such as legal consultation, financial consultation, work/life components, and "soft skills" training. Vendors will be evaluated on their qualifications, experience, and pricing, with the contract term starting on July 1, 2023 for one year, with an optional one-year extension. Proposals are due by March 28, 2023.

The RFP is open to all qualified vendors, and the State will maintain confidentiality of proprietary information. The current EAP provider is Kepro Acquisitions, LLC, who has provided services since July 1, 2019. The State is seeking the most comprehensive program within budgetary constraints, with the current contract rate at $0.66 per employee per month. The total spend for the most recent contract year was $148,622.76. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, and the State will monitor vendor compliance and program effectiveness through a contract manager and feedback from agencies.
