Medicaid rehabilitative behavioral servi

The South Carolina State Fiscal Accountability Authority Division of Procurement Services is soliciting proposals for Medicaid Rehabilitative Behavioral Health Services (RBHS) for children under age 21, with responses due September 8, 2026 at 11:00 AM ET. Eligibility is restricted to enrolled Medicaid RBHS providers only — a hard filter that disqualifies non-enrolled entities.

The scope encompasses assessment services, service plan development, psychotherapy services, and community support services. The using agencies are the South Carolina Department of Social Services (designated lead) and the Department of Behavioral Health and Development Disabilities, with potential for additional agencies to be added during the contract term. Transportation services are excluded. Contractors must maintain Commercial General Liability insurance with limits of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence; Abuse or Molestation Insurance with limits of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence; and Information Security and Privacy insurance with limits of at least $1,000,000 per claim and $2,000,000 aggregate. Monthly documentation of services is required.

Pricing is fixed as established by the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services, which holds sole rate-setting authority; current rates are provided in the Program Information Sheet attached to the solicitation. The contract term begins October 2, 2026 and expires October 1, 2031, with automatic annual renewal for one-year periods unless the state provides thirty days' notice not to renew. If a provider is excluded from Medicaid during the contract term, the award is terminated.

A non-mandatory pre-bid conference is scheduled for August 20, 2026 at 10:00 AM via Teams. Questions are due August 7, 2026. Award notification will be posted September 22, 2026. Offerors must be registered South Carolina vendors and must demonstrate responsibility and capability to perform the work.
