SSA - Parenting with Love & Limits Sys of Care Enterprise

The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare is conducting a sole source procurement for a Parenting with Love and Limits (PLL) System of Care Enterprise License from Savannah Family Institute, Inc. (SFI). This procurement seeks an enterprise license for a comprehensive mental health treatment model targeting youth aged 10-18 with emotional or behavioral problems, which includes group and family therapy, training materials, and outcome data dashboards. The program aims to expand statewide under the new Idaho Behavioral Health Plan, potentially doubling or tripling the number of families served in the next 2-3 years. The Request for Proposal (RFP) is specific to Ada County and was posted on April 16, 2024, with proposals due by April 19, 2024. SFI is positioned as the exclusive provider of this proprietary treatment model, with the Division of Purchasing determining they are the only vendor qualified to deliver these services. Key objectives include improving family engagement, providing flexible training methods, tracking therapeutic outcomes, and reducing service duration compared to traditional mental health interventions.

There are no specific set-aside designations mentioned in the documentation. The procurement is structured as a sole source authorization pursuant to Idaho Code section 67-9221, which means other interested vendors may challenge the procurement within five business days of the posting. The total contract value is $1.5 million, structured as a five-year enterprise license at $300,000 annually. No incumbent vendors are explicitly identified beyond SFI's current relationship with the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare. The current technology infrastructure appears to involve content management systems like OnBase, SharePoint, and Docushare, which may require integration with the new PLL System of Care Enterprise. The procurement is open to challenges from other vendors, though SFI has established itself as the sole authorized provider of the PLL materials, training, and consultation services through registered trademarks and copyrights.
