Outpatient Mental Health Sex Offender Services (OPMH/SO)

The Florida Department of Corrections (FDC) has issued a Request for Quote (RFQ-26-026) for Outpatient Mental Health Sex Offender Services (OPMH/SO) within Judicial Circuit 11, specifically targeting Miami-Dade County. The procurement seeks qualified vendors to provide comprehensive mental health and sex offender treatment services for offenders under community supervision. Required services include mental health assessments, sex offender assessments, formal psychological evaluations, individual and group treatment services, and treatment referrals. Vendors must maintain a service location within Miami-Dade city limits and employ bilingual (English/Spanish) staff capable of accommodating hearing-impaired offenders. The contract submission deadline is November 19, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time, with an anticipated contract start date within 30 days of award. Vendors must demonstrate the ability to provide various service types with unit pricing, including mental health assessments, individual and group counseling, and comprehensive psychological evaluations. The contract will have an initial five-year term with potential for a five-year renewal.

The procurement is non-competitive and statutorily exempt under Section 287.057(3)(e)5 of Florida Statutes. Vendors must submit mandatory attachments including certification forms, price sheets, foreign country of concern attestation, and vendor certification documents. The Department will compensate the contractor based on services rendered, with specific invoicing and reporting requirements. Financial consequences may be assessed for late or incomplete submissions, and contractors must maintain a minimum 52% successful discharge rate for sex offender treatment participants. While no specific set-aside designations were mentioned, vendors must meet rigorous qualification standards, including professional credentials, bilingual capabilities, and demonstrated expertise in mental health and sex offender treatment. The contract appears to be structured with unit-based pricing, suggesting potential flexibility in total contract value depending on service utilization. Specific budget ranges were not explicitly detailed in the available documentation, but the comprehensive service requirements indicate a potentially substantial contract opportunity for qualified mental health service providers.
