Residential Substance Use Disorder Treatment

The Florida Department of Corrections (FDC) is seeking qualified vendors to provide residential substance use disorder treatment and behavioral health services within Judicial Circuits 1, 2, 5, 9, 10, 13, and 20 across the state. The services required include an Intensive Treatment Component, an Employment/Re-entry Component, and other services outlined in the Request for Qualifications (RFQ). Vendors must have a current or proposed service location within the designated areas and provide services using a Trauma-Informed Care Approach. The RFQ includes detailed information on program requirements, staffing, licensure, and reporting, as well as financial consequences for failure to meet performance standards. Vendors interested in providing these services must submit a response by 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time on December 19, 2023. The contract term is from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2028, with the option for the Department to renew for up to an additional five-year period.

The procurement process will not include an award advertisement on the Vendor Information Portal, as the Addendum to the RFQ will be the only posting related to this opportunity. Vendors invited to negotiate further with the Department will receive additional instructions. The RFQ does not provide any details regarding pricing, set-asides, incumbents, funding, or contract term. The revised ATTACHMENT I - SERVICE LOCATIONS outlines the estimated number of residential and co-occurring beds required in each circuit, but no other specific budget information is included.
