Manage and Operate a Substance Abuse, Assessment and Referral Center and a Detoxification and Stabilization Center

The District of Columbia's Office of Contracting and Procurement, acting on behalf of the Department of Health, is seeking a contractor to manage and operate two critical substance abuse-related facilities. The procurement involves comprehensive management of the Substance Abuse Assessment and Referral Centers located at 1300 First Street, NE, and within the DC Superior Court at 500 Indiana Avenue, NW, as well as a 60-bed non-hospital medically supervised Detoxification and Stabilization Center situated on the DC General Hospital campus at 1900 Massachusetts Avenue, SE, in Building 12. The contractor will be responsible for providing comprehensive substance abuse assessment, referral services, and medical detoxification and stabilization support. Key objectives include delivering integrated substance abuse intervention services, ensuring patient safety, maintaining medical supervision, and facilitating effective treatment referrals. While specific evaluation criteria are not detailed in the provided documentation, typical considerations would likely include demonstrated experience in substance abuse treatment, medical supervision capabilities, staff qualifications, and operational approach. The contract opportunity was initially posted on June 24, 2009, with an inexplicably listed due date of December 30, 1899, which appears to be an administrative error.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises are mentioned in the provided contract opportunity details. The documentation does not indicate incumbent vendors, current contractors, or specify existing infrastructure requirements for integration. Similarly, no explicit award value or comprehensive budget range is provided in the source material. The procurement appears focused on securing a contractor with robust capabilities in substance abuse treatment, medical supervision, and patient referral services across multiple facilities in the District of Columbia. Potential respondents would need to demonstrate extensive experience in managing substance abuse assessment centers and medically supervised detoxification programs, with a strong emphasis on patient care, medical safety, and effective treatment pathways. The contract would require a comprehensive operational approach to managing these critical public health service centers, with an expectation of high-quality, patient-centered care delivery.
