Pari services

The South Carolina Division of Procurement Services, on behalf of the South Carolina Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities (BHDD), has issued an intent to award for Post-Acute Rehabilitation Services (PARI) covering inpatient and outpatient traumatic brain injury (TBI) and spinal cord injury (SCI) rehabilitation, with qualified bidders addable to the awarded vendor list quarterly through December 2, 2030. No set-asides apply, and CARF accreditation as a Brain Injury and/or Spinal Cord Injury Program relevant to the services offered is mandatory.

Resident-vendor preferences under South Carolina Code Section 11-35-1524 apply by line item to offerors that claim them, and claiming offerors must provide an in-state office address and certify qualification. The solicitation has four lots: Lot 1 (inpatient TBI), Lot 2 (outpatient TBI), Lot 3 (inpatient SCI), and Lot 4 (outpatient SCI). Offerors must bid complete lots to be responsive and may bid on one or more. Offers exceeding maximum rates are non-responsive. Services serve South Carolina residents who are uninsured or cannot access sufficient post-acute rehabilitation through private insurance or other payers. All services require BHDD pre-approval, contractors must exhaust other medical and rehabilitation benefits first, and subcontractors are prohibited. Required coverage includes professional liability of $1 million per occurrence and $3 million aggregate, general liability of $1 million per occurrence, auto liability of $1 million per accident, and statutory workers' compensation. Certificates of insurance are due before services begin. Invoices are due within ten business days of discharge or service completion.

Each of the six awardees has a total potential value of $500,000. Maximum funding per patient is $34,400 for inpatient TBI and $77,650 for inpatient SCI. Outpatient SCI is reimbursed at $18,000 following PARI-funded inpatient care or $21,000 for outpatient-only services. Contractors are not guaranteed any volume or funding level. The initial term is one year with four one-year renewal options, for a maximum of five years, and awards are effective August 1, 2026 through July 31, 2031. Awardees are Charlotte Mecklenburg Hospital Authority-Carolina Rehabilitation (Contract 4400040458, North Carolina), Prisma Health Roger C. Peace Rehabilitation Hospital (Contract 4400040459, Greenville, South Carolina), Roper Hospital Inc. (Contract 4400040460, Ladson, South Carolina), Collage Home & Community Rehab Part (Contract 4400040461, Evans, Georgia), Rehab Without Walls (Contract 4400040462, Louisville, Kentucky), and NeuroRestorative Georgia (Contract 4400040463, Augusta, Georgia).

It set a pre-bid conference for June 10, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. ET via Microsoft Teams, questions due June 11, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. ET, and online offers due June 30, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. ET, superseding the July 13 deadline in Amendments 1 and 2.
