The services cover trauma-informed medical assessments, treatment, and referral for juveniles aged 12 to 17 at the Hale Ho'omalu Juvenile Detention Facility and the Home Maluhia 24-hour youth shelter on Oahu. Physician services require three clinics per week with four on-site hours each, plus 24-hour emergency consultation availability. Nursing services are on call 365 days per year, and administrative support is included. The RFP emphasizes evidence-based practice, collaboration, and cultural competency. Applicants must hold all required licenses and accreditations, maintain commercial general liability insurance of at least $2 million, and conduct criminal background checks and sex offender registry searches for all staff. Contracts exceeding $25,000 require tax clearance from the Hawaii Department of Taxation and the Internal Revenue Service.

The initial term runs July 1, 2027 through June 30, 2029, with an optional two-year extension through June 30, 2031, subject to appropriation, fund availability, and satisfactory performance. Funding comes from State General Funds for the initial two-year term only. The RFP uses a fixed-price structure, and applicants submit pricing on the SPO-H-205 budget form with justifications for personnel costs, payroll taxes and fringe benefits, and other current expenses. A 0.75% transaction fee, not to exceed $5,000 for the total contract term, applies to awards issued through HiePRO.
