RBT support services

Wake County Public School System (WCPSS) is requesting proposals for Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) support services to students in special education programs, with proposals due September 9, 2026 at 2:00 PM ET via electronic Vendor Portal. Current North Carolina RBT licensure and a minimum of two years of relevant experience are mandatory qualifications. Written questions close August 28, 2026 at 12:00 PM ET, with responses issued by September 1. A public live bid opening occurs September 9 at 2:00 PM ET via Microsoft Teams.

WCPSS, serving approximately 161,000 students across 203 schools, seeks vendors to deliver in-person RBT support including evidence-based direct support, behavior intervention plan implementation, progress monitoring, staff collaboration, and record management throughout fiscal year 2026–27 (through June 30, 2027).

Vendors must submit hourly rates for RBT support services along with three customer references, relevant experience, project methodology, and a signed execution page. Insurance requirements include Commercial General Liability at $1,000,000, Commercial Automobile Liability at $1,000,000, and Workers Compensation as applicable per North Carolina law, with WCBOE named as additional insured. Vendors must conduct criminal background checks and sexual offender registry checks on all service providers within 24 hours of submission. No mileage reimbursement or travel costs are paid by WCPSS. Payment terms are Net 30 prior to invoice or acceptance of goods.

WCPSS will evaluate proposals on qualifications, experience, fee, and ability to perform work timely — not solely on lowest price. All vendors must be approved and authorized to do business in North Carolina with compliance for E-Verify, debarment checks, and conflict-of-interest provisions. The contract structure is Agency Specific Term Contract with the option for WCPSS to extend services for up to two additional one-year terms at its discretion.
