Post Release Case Management

The Delaware Department of Correction (DDOC) is seeking a provider for statewide Post Release Case Management services through a competitive Request for Proposal (RFP) process. The contract aims to support high-risk, high-need individuals transitioning from Level V and IV correctional institutions, with a specific focus on individuals with substance use disorders receiving medication-assisted treatment. The selected provider will be responsible for maintaining a caseload of 30 clients and delivering comprehensive case management services over a 12-month period, which include conducting intake assessments, creating individualized recovery plans, and providing progressive support through weekly, biweekly, and monthly meetings. Key deliverables involve connecting clients to community resources, healthcare, employment support, and ongoing treatment with the ultimate objective of reducing recidivism. The proposal is due on September 23, 2025, at 2:00 PM local time, with contract award anticipated on September 15, 2025. The initial contract term is three years, with potential for three optional one-year extensions. Providers will submit pricing and staffing details electronically using Appendix C, and monthly invoices will be based on actual expenses, not exceeding the annual budget.

While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly mentioned in the documentation, the contract requires comprehensive insurance coverage, including Workers' Compensation, Commercial General Liability, and Automotive Liability. Providers must comply with state and federal regulations, complete background checks for personnel, and adhere to Department of Correction policies, including the Federal Prison Rape Elimination Act. The professional services agreement allows for potential annual contract adjustments based on the Philadelphia All Urban Consumers Price Index (CPI-U), capped at 3%. Although a specific budget range is not detailed, the contract structure suggests providers will be reimbursed based on actual staffing and operational expenses, with monthly invoices subject to reduction for unfilled staff positions. The state will utilize Purchase Card (P-Card) payments and limit total liability to authorized purchase order amounts. Interested providers should carefully review the comprehensive documentation, including the RFP, Sample Professional Services Agreement, and Budget Appendix C, to understand the full scope of requirements and expectations for this post-release case management contract.
