In-Prison Substance Use Disorder Treatment and Behavioral Health Services

The Florida Department of Corrections (FDC) is seeking qualified vendors to provide licensed substance use disorder treatment and behavioral health services to inmates incarcerated in various housing environments throughout the state. The FDC is issuing a Request for Quote (RFQ) for innovative solutions that focus on changing drug abuse and criminal behaviors of inmates with a history of substance use disorder. Services may include prevention, outpatient, intensive outpatient, long-term residential therapeutic community, and aftercare treatment. Vendors must submit responses by 2:00 pm Eastern Time on December 5, 2023, and the contract will have an initial term of 3 years, with the option to renew for up to an additional 3 years. Vendors must provide a fixed per diem rate per inmate for each type of service, and all services must comply with applicable state and federal laws, rules, and regulations.

The RFQ is open to all qualified vendors, and the FDC will not advertise an award on the Vendor Information Portal, as this RFQ will be the only posting. There are no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The FDC did not provide any information about incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor did it mention any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFQ does not include any information about possible award values or budget ranges.
