Treatment, RE-entry, and aftercare services

The Texas Juvenile Justice Department (TJJD) is seeking providers for a comprehensive Treatment, Re-entry, and Aftercare Services contract through RFP 644-25-031325. The solicitation targets services for youth ages 10-19 on parole who require additional interventions after out-of-home placement or commitment to state-operated facilities. Providers must deliver evidence-based services including Functional Family Therapy, Multi-Systemic Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, with potential service lines encompassing treatment, family reunification, intensive case management, independent living skills, and vocational training. Required qualifications include being licensed clinical professionals with specialized training, capable of delivering services through face-to-face or telehealth methods. Key performance objectives include increasing youth parole completion rates and reducing recidivism, with monthly reporting and performance evaluations mandatory. The contract will have an initial three-year term from September 1, 2025, through August 31, 2028, with one optional two-year renewal period. Proposals are due by June 30, 2025, with contract execution expected by August 1, 2025, and service commencement on September 1, 2025.

The solicitation includes a Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) subcontracting plan with statewide participation goals ranging from 21.1% to 32.9% depending on service type. Respondents must demonstrate good faith efforts to engage HUB subcontractors and complete a detailed pricing form with 24 distinct service lines covering professional services such as family counseling, crisis intervention, parent training, youth mentoring, and job readiness training. The pricing structure allows for both primary and secondary service area submissions, with firm fixed unit hourly rates required for each service line. While no guaranteed number of referrals is promised, payments will be based on actual participant referrals. The contract includes provisions for both face-to-face and telehealth service delivery, with limitations on missed appointments (two per youth per month). Although specific award values are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of services and multiple regional contracts suggest a significant potential contract value, with pricing flexibility to accommodate different service intensities and delivery methods.
