Therapeutic Programming SPTP Larned

The State of Kansas, specifically the Department of Administration's Procurement and Contracts division for Larned State Hospital in Rawlins County, is seeking competitive proposals for therapeutic treatment and consultation services for the Sexual Predator Treatment Program (SPTP). The procurement targets qualified vendors to provide comprehensive therapeutic programming for sexually violent predators who are civilly committed. Required services include weekly process and supplemental psychotherapy groups, individual psychotherapy sessions, crisis intervention, case consultation, and various administrative and treatment-related tasks for residents at the Meyer House Reintegration Facility. Contractors must possess a master's degree in psychology, social work, or counseling, with a current Kansas clinical license, and demonstrate extensive experience in forensic evaluations, sexual offender treatment, and risk assessments. The RFP requires detailed documentation of professional qualifications and capabilities. Key dates include a proposal submission deadline of November 4, 2025, at 2:00 PM CST, with questions and clarifications due by October 21st. The contract period is scheduled from January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2031.

The procurement encourages participation from disabled veteran-owned businesses and offers bid preferences for certain business categories. Bidders must obtain a current Tax Clearance Certificate and complete forms for bidder preferences, immigration reform, sexual harassment, and a Boycott of Israel certification. The state has specific policies discouraging human trafficking and will require vendors to submit documentation verifying eligibility. The compensation structure includes an all-inclusive weekly per-resident fee, with additional hourly rates for specialized tasks such as clinical supervision, court testimony, and psychological testing. Potential contractors should be aware of state provisions including possible debarment and an accounts receivable set-off program that allows the state to intercept payments if the contractor owes a debt to Kansas. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the services and the five-year contract period suggest a significant financial commitment from the state for this specialized therapeutic programming.
