Reentry Service Center and Recovery Kentucky Centers

The Commonwealth of Kentucky's Department of Corrections is seeking vendors to establish and operate Reentry Service Centers and Recovery Kentucky Centers through RFP 758 2500000122. The procurement aims to secure fully operational residential facilities that provide comprehensive reentry services and substance use disorder treatment for felons, probationers, parolees, and pre-release offenders. Proposed facilities must offer at least two evidence-based treatment programs, with Recovery Kentucky Centers specifically required to implement Substance Abuse Programs (SAP). Vendors can submit proposals from November 1, 2024, through October 14, 2026, with written questions accepted until September 1, 2026. The initial contract term is two years, with options for two additional two-year renewals. Facilities may be new, renovated, or existing structures that comply with all applicable federal, state, and local regulations. Vendors must maintain specific insurance coverages, including $1 million per occurrence Commercial General Liability, Professional Liability, and Automobile Liability policies.

The solicitation does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though the attached Bidders Affidavit suggests some preference for resident bidders and organizations employing individuals with severe disabilities. Per diem rates are fixed and vary by bed type, ranging from $27.62 to $40.36812 daily, with categories including standard parolee beds, male and female parolee/probationer beds, recovery treatment beds, standard inmate beds, substance abuse program beds, and sex offender parolee beds. There is no minimum bed quantity guarantee, as the Department of Corrections will determine facility needs based on location and current requirements. Vendors must complete a comprehensive affidavit demonstrating compliance with state bidding processes, including campaign finance law compliance and qualified bidder status. The Commonwealth reserves the right to request additional documentation and may disqualify vendors who cannot substantiate their claims. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the per diem structure suggests significant potential contract values for successful vendors providing multiple bed types across different service levels.
