Staff Wellness Program - Curriculum and Mobile App

The Nevada Department of Corrections (NDOC) is soliciting proposals for a comprehensive Staff Wellness Program through Request for Proposals (RFP) 44DOC-S3211, which encompasses two primary scopes: a peer support curriculum and a mobile application. The project aims to develop an International Critical Incident Stress Foundation (ICISF) curriculum to train approximately 120 staff members in crisis intervention techniques, while simultaneously creating a mobile app to connect employees with trained peer supporters. Vendors must be registered on nevadaepro.com, hold a Nevada business license, and maintain an active Sam.gov registration. The evaluation criteria include weighted scoring for experience (40%), qualifications (25%), customization (20%), and cost (15%), with a 5% preference given to Nevada-based businesses. The solicitation was released on March 12, 2025, with proposals due by March 28, 2025, at 1:00 PM, and the contract is anticipated to begin May 14, 2025, and expire June 30, 2025. Vendors must provide comprehensive documentation, including training materials, app prototypes, and ongoing support plans, with strict confidentiality and data protection requirements.

The procurement opportunity does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though the 5% preference for Nevada-based businesses suggests some localized consideration. Vendors will be required to meet extensive insurance requirements, including $2,000,000 in Commercial General Liability coverage, $1,000,000 in Automobile Liability, and $1,000,000 in Professional Liability, with insurers needing to be licensed in Nevada and maintain an A.M. Best rating of at least A-VII. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the contract is funded through June 30, 2025, and the state reserves the right to award up to two contracts. The project involves developing a technological solution integrated with existing organizational infrastructure, focusing on staff wellness and peer support within the Nevada Department of Corrections. Vendors must demonstrate capabilities in designing peer support programs, customizing curriculum, developing mobile applications, ensuring data security, and providing post-launch support, with a comprehensive approach to addressing staff mental health and crisis intervention needs.
