Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Services

The Florida Department of Health, specifically the Pinellas County Health Department, is issuing a Request for Information (RFI DOH24-021) to identify qualified vendors capable of providing integrated mental health and substance use disorder services. The procurement targets comprehensive service delivery for Pinellas County Health Program and Health Care for the Homeless Program patients, with a focus on implementing a Collaborative Care Model aligned with SAMHSA-HRSA Center for Integrated Health Solutions' Level 5 to Level 6 integration standards. Required services encompass comprehensive biopsychosocial assessments, treatment planning, therapy, case management, and medication-assisted treatment across six clinic sites, a Mobile Medical Unit, and Street Medicine team. Vendors must submit a detailed statement of work including background, implementation approach, staffing model, key agency contacts, and cost estimates. The RFI response deadline is March 31, 2025, at 5:00pm ET, with vendor questions due by March 10, 2025. Current program data indicates approximately 7,500 patients are served annually, with over 10,000 mental health and substance use disorder services provided to 1,400 program patients in 2024.

The RFI does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types, but implies a competitive selection process for potential future solicitation. Subcontracting may be permitted, provided all specified tasks and deliverables are completed as required. The proposed annual budget for this contract opportunity is capped at $2,565,000.00 per contract year, with an anticipated contract duration of three years. The program aims to serve an estimated 1,400 to 2,000 patients annually, suggesting a significant scope of service delivery. While no incumbent vendors are directly mentioned, the RFI indicates an existing operational infrastructure spanning multiple clinical sites and outreach programs. Vendors will be evaluated on their ability to integrate seamlessly with current healthcare delivery models and meet the comprehensive service requirements outlined in the document.
