Family Reentry Support and Help Program Services

The North Carolina Department of Adult Correction is seeking a vendor to implement the Family Reentry Support & Help (FRESH) Program Services through a Request for Quote (RFQ) focused on Alleghany County. The procurement targets comprehensive support services for incarcerated parents with minor children across 14 reentry facilities, with intensive services concentrated in 5 specific facilities. The vendor will be responsible for developing staff training programs, creating child-friendly visitation spaces, implementing evidence-based programming, and providing comprehensive case management services. Key deliverables include pre-release and post-release support, family assessments, counseling, transition planning, and community resource engagement. The program aims to enroll a minimum of 135 adult men and women annually, totaling 405 individuals over the three-year contract term. Quotes are due on June 16, 2025, at 2:00 PM ET, with the contract running from the date of final execution through September 30, 2027, contingent on continued federal grant funding.

The procurement does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The FRESH program is funded by a federal grant with a maximum available budget of $596,819.00 for the entire three-year period. The program's objectives include increasing family functioning, reducing childhood depression, improving parent-child bonding, and supporting successful reentry by addressing family relationships through targeted interventions. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the vendor will need to integrate with existing correctional facility infrastructure and potentially existing support systems. The contract includes the potential for renewal based on continued federal grant funding, suggesting the possibility of future extensions beyond the initial three-year term. Successful vendors will need to demonstrate expertise in corrections, family support services, and evidence-based intervention strategies for incarcerated parents and their children.
