The South Dakota Unified Judicial System (UJS) is soliciting proposals from nonprofit entities located within the state to provide extended residential alternative care programming for indigent adults, with the primary objective of reducing recidivism. This Request for Proposal (RFP) #25RFP14635 seeks qualified care providers to deliver residential programming that supports at-risk individuals, with a specific focus on room and board services. The procurement will award grant(s) totaling $333,334, with a maximum daily rate of $30 per program participant. Key deliverables include comprehensive quarterly reports documenting participant outcomes, which must be submitted by November 11, 2026, and must include detailed metrics such as completion rates, termination rates, graduation rates, and recidivism data. Proposals are due by June 1, 2025 at 5:00 PM CDT, with an anticipated award and contract negotiation date of June 10, 2025. Evaluation criteria will emphasize specialized expertise, technical competence, organizational resources, past performance, project management capabilities, and familiarity with local project constraints. Potential offerors may submit inquiries via email to Lori.Grode@ujs.stae.sd.us with the subject line "RFP #25RFP14635" prior to the specified deadline. The RFP is exclusively open to nonprofit entities physically located within South Dakota, effectively creating a geographically restricted competition. The contract period will run from July 1, 2025 to June 30, 2026, with grant funds distributed in quarterly installments upon submission of detailed invoices. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the procurement appears designed to support local nonprofit organizations working in criminal justice rehabilitation. The total available budget is $333,334, with individual grant awards potentially varying based on proposed programming and demonstrated capability. The UJS reserves the right to reject any or all proposals and will negotiate final contract terms, including compensation and performance schedules, with the highest-ranked offeror. Successful applicants will be expected to provide evidence of their ability to effectively implement residential alternative care programming that meaningfully reduces participant recidivism rates.
