About this opportunity
The South Dakota Department of Social Services (DSS) is seeking proposals for a comprehensive stakeholder engagement and project management contract focused on juvenile justice transitional healthcare services. The primary objective is to identify barriers and develop recommendations for implementing Division FF, Title V, section 5121 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, which provides limited Medicaid coverage for eligible juveniles in pre-release settings. The contract requires conducting systematic analysis of pre-release services access, creating educational materials, and managing implementation of recommendations. Specific deliverables include stakeholder engagement with detention centers, jails, corrections facilities, and Medicaid providers, as well as developing a detailed action plan for service integration. The proposal is due on March 27, 2025, by 5:00 PM CST, with a Letter of Intent requested by February 27, 2025. Evaluation criteria will encompass specialized expertise, available resources, past performance, project locale familiarity, project management techniques, and overall cost. The contract term runs through May 31, 2026, with potential extensions through December 31, 2027.
While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondents were explicitly mentioned, the RFP requires offerors to maintain comprehensive insurance coverage, including commercial general liability, professional liability, automobile liability, and workers' compensation insurance with specified minimum limits. Proposals must be submitted as PDFs via Secured File Transfer Protocol (SFTP), indicating a preference for technologically capable vendors. The contract will be awarded through a negotiation process with the highest-ranked offeror, suggesting a competitive selection approach. Potential vendors should have substantial experience in healthcare service implementation, stakeholder engagement, and project management within juvenile justice systems. Although a specific budget range was not disclosed, the complexity of the project and the required deliverables suggest a significant investment in addressing the nuanced challenges of providing transitional healthcare services for juveniles preparing to re-enter community settings.
Opportunity text
The Department of Social Services (DSS) is soliciting proposals to obtain services to conduct stakeholder engagement to identify barriers, challenges, and develop recommendations and an action plan for implementation of Division FF, Title V, section 5121 of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023, known as Juvenile Justice Coverage. The offeror will also provide project management for implementation of recommendations and the action plan.
Federal juvenile justice coverage requirements provide for limited services for eligible juveniles in carceral settings effective January 1, 2025. Juveniles are only eligible for this limited coverage in the pre-release period if they are enrolled in Medicaid, have been adjudicated, and are within 30 days of release to the community. These coverages are intended to help provide a bridge to community reentry and establish care with community providers. Upon reentry into the community these juveniles will generally have full coverage Medicaid if they continue to meet Medicaid eligibility criteria.
Covered services during the pre-release period are targeted case management, screening services, diagnostic services, and immunizations. Federal regulations continue to prohibit Medicaid coverage and reimbursement of other services while the juvenile is incarcerated including treatment and problem-focused exams.
South Dakota Medicaid implemented this coverage change effective January 1, 2025. It is anticipated that even though Medicaid coverage and reimbursement is in place additional work is needed to develop the provider network and potentially refine the service delivery concept.
