School-Based Suicide Prevention, Bullying Intervention, and MH Therapy Svcs

The Missouri Department of Social Services is procuring school-based suicide prevention, bullying intervention, and mental health therapy services under a Single Feasible Source acquisition (STATE 0000000589SL) with proposals due September 30, 2026. This is a sole-source procurement; the Megan Meier Foundation has been identified as the sole provider meeting the statutory and operational requirements.

Eligibility is restricted to a nonprofit organization capable of delivering suicide prevention skills and awareness training, social media harassment and bullying intervention training, and mental health therapy resources to student personnel in counties with populations between 400,000 and 500,000 inhabitants. The procurement targets St. Charles County specifically. The Single Feasible Source determination is justified under RSMo 34.044 and House Bill 11 Section 259, which establish that services meeting these criteria in qualifying counties constitute a proprietary requirement available from only one provider.

The contract runs from immediate execution through June 30, 2027, with two optional one-year renewal periods available. The requisition number is RXO12700049. No contract value, pricing information, or specific funding amounts are disclosed in the posting.

The buyer is Julie Kleffner, Missouri Department of Social Services, reachable at 573-751-1689 or Julie.Kleffner@oa.mo.gov. No pre-bid meeting, site visit, or question deadline is specified separate from the proposal due date.
