Outpatient Substance Use Disorder and Aftercare Services Judicial Circuits 3, 5, 8, 10, and 20

The Florida Department of Corrections is conducting a Request for Quote (RFQ-25-049) for Outpatient Substance Use Disorder Treatment and Aftercare Services across Judicial Circuits 3, 5, 8, 10, and 20. The procurement seeks qualified vendors to provide comprehensive services for offenders on community supervision, including intake screening, assessments, individual and group counseling, treatment plan reviews, aftercare services, and referrals. Potential vendors must have a current or proposed service location within specific city limits or zip codes in the targeted judicial circuits and demonstrate a minimum of two years of relevant business experience within the last five years. The response deadline is 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time on April 11, 2025, with services expected to commence within 30 days of award. Vendors are required to submit a 15-page response detailing their capabilities, understanding of service requirements, and approach to meeting the Department's objectives. Respondents must complete Attachment II (Certification/Attestation) and Attachment III (Price Sheet), with a separate price sheet required for each service site location within each judicial circuit. The procurement is being conducted as a non-competitive, statutory health-exempt service under Florida Statutes.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types. While no incumbent vendors are directly mentioned, the sample contract indicates potential for multi-year engagement, with the Department reserving the option to renew the contract for up to an additional five years based on satisfactory performance and fund availability. The procurement requires vendors to comply with non-discrimination policies, employment practices, and various legal and operational standards. Some locations have special requirements, such as mandating bilingual staff (English and Spanish) in certain counties. The contract will utilize unit-based pricing for services, with compensation based on the number of offenders served and specific service types. While exact budget ranges are not specified, the contract structure suggests flexibility in service delivery and potential for ongoing financial engagement across multiple judicial circuits in Florida.
