Nevada Statewide Jail Based MOUD & Case Management Svcs

The Nevada Department of Health and Human Services is soliciting proposals for Nevada Statewide Jail Based Medication-Assisted Opioid Use Disorder (MOUD) and Case Management Services through RFP 40DHHS-S3545, with responses due February 19, 2026 at 1:00 PM Pacific Time. This procurement seeks qualified vendors to provide comprehensive MOUD prescribing, clinical and medical oversight, intensive case management, re-entry planning, and cognitive behavioral services across 14 Nevada counties and multiple municipal detention facilities housing approximately 2,200 inmates daily, of which an estimated 25% require OUD treatment services. Vendors must currently employ at least one licensed MOUD prescriber and demonstrate institutional knowledge of jail operations, government regulatory experience, adequate administrative infrastructure for reimbursement-based billing, and ability to integrate with existing jail Electronic Health Record systems and the Nevada Health Information Exchange. The contract term spans four years from Board of Examiners approval through May 31, 2030, with a possible one-year extension, and an estimated start date of May 15, 2026. Evaluation will be based on technical factors (100 points) including prescriber availability, FTE matrix, EHR integration capability, quality improvement participation, trauma-informed care implementation, continuity of care planning, and post-release appointment attendance benchmarks; cost factors (20 points); and presentation factors (100 points) assessing visual quality, understanding of financial constraints, professionalism, and project design. Vendors must submit questions by January 29, 2026, reference questionnaires by February 18, 2026, and participate in vendor presentations estimated for March 17-19, 2026, with Notice of Intent estimated for March 19, 2026 and Notice of Award estimated for April 13, 2026. Submission must be made through nevadaepro.com, and all vendors must maintain required insurance coverage including Commercial General Liability ($2,000,000 general aggregate/$1,000,000 per occurrence), Automobile Liability ($1,000,000 combined single limit), Workers' Compensation at statutory rates, and Professional Liability ($1,000,000 per claim/$2,000,000 aggregate).

Nevada-based businesses receive a 5% preference under this procurement, and no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are identified in the solicitation documents. No incumbent vendor or current contractor is referenced, indicating this represents new service development rather than a renewal or rebid of existing contracts. Vendors must comply with Nevada Revised Statutes and Administrative Code requirements, including registration on nevadaepro.com, maintenance of Nevada business licenses, active SAM.gov registration, data encryption, stateside data storage, and compliance with the No Boycott of Israel requirement. The procurement documents do not specify overall estimated contract values or budget ranges; however, the statewide scope covering 13 detention facilities with average daily populations ranging from 15 to 400+ inmates and daily booking volumes up to 35 intakes suggests substantial service delivery requirements across urban and rural settings. Vendors must integrate with existing jail Electronic Health Record systems and the Nevada Health Information Exchange, and demonstrate capacity to serve facilities with average lengths of stay ranging from 2-4 days in urban centers to approximately 2 years for core populations in rural counties. The solicitation contemplates awarding one or more contracts, allowing for potential multi-vendor approaches to address geographic and operational diversity across Nevada's detention system.
