Sex Offender Treatment Services

The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) Parole Division is seeking proposals for Sex Offender Treatment Services through solicitation number 696-PD-25-P006. The contract will provide treatment services for sex offenders across Texas counties, including district parole offices, residential reentry centers, correctional institutions, and private locations. Contractors must be Licensed Sex Offender Treatment Providers (LSOTP) with current professional licenses, capable of delivering subsidized and non-subsidized services including evaluations, group sessions, individual sessions, and virtual treatment sessions. The contract term runs from March 1, 2026, through August 31, 2030, with a base period of one year and six months and three potential one-year option periods. A pre-proposal conference is scheduled for September 9, 2025, with proposal submissions due by September 30, 2025, at 3:00 p.m. CT. The proposal evaluation will be based on a weighted scoring system: 50% cost, 40% technical plan, 5% experience, and 5% past performance. Key requirements include maintaining specific treatment protocols, conducting background checks, and ensuring compliance with training standards.

The solicitation strongly encourages participation from Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUBs), with a comprehensive HUB Subcontracting Plan required as part of the proposal. The state mandates HUB participation goals across various contract categories, including 23.7% for professional services, with contractors required to notify at least three Texas certified HUB vendors and two trade organizations about subcontracting opportunities. Contractors must provide detailed documentation of their outreach efforts and can face penalties for failing to meet HUB goals. While specific contract values are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the services suggests a significant potential contract value spanning multiple years and counties. Contractors must carry current liability insurance and adhere to strict documentation and reporting standards, with payment contingent upon compliance with numerous detailed requirements. The contract includes provisions for payment adjustments and potential termination for serious infractions, emphasizing the state's commitment to high-quality, accountable service delivery.
