T1464- Substance Abuse Services, DOC

The State of New Jersey, through the Department of the Treasury's Division of Purchase and Property, is procuring in-prison Substance Use Disorder (SUD) treatment services and a Psycho-Educational Initiative for the Department of Corrections (DOC). The objective is to award a Master Blanket Purchase Order contract to a vendor that can provide SUD program services at the Edna Mahan Correctional Facility for Females and the Mid-State Correctional Facility, with a total capacity of 761 treatment beds. The vendor will also be required to offer a Psycho-Educational Initiative to offenders in the general population and restrictive housing units at all DOC facilities. The RFP outlines specific requirements for the clinical model, program components, staffing, data management, and other operational details. Proposals are due on October 19, 2016, and the State anticipates awarding the contract prior to the expiration of the current contract on September 30, 2017.

The RFP does not specify any set-aside requirements, but encourages the participation of New Jersey registered small businesses. The incumbent provider is Gateway Foundation, Inc. under Contract #77723. Pricing is to be submitted on a firm, fixed price per participant basis for the SUD program and a firm, fixed price per region for the Psycho-Educational Initiative. The contract term and funding details have not been provided, but the State has indicated the requirements differ from the current contract.
