W estCare California, Inc.

The state of California's Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) has issued a Non-Competitive Bid (NCB) contract amendment for WestCare California, Inc. to continue providing evidence-based rehabilitation services for parolees through the Parolee Day Reporting Center (DRC). The contract, numbered 5600003783, seeks to extend current services for one additional year through June 30, 2017, with a specific focus on delivering education, pre-employment training, job skills development, substance abuse education, and cognitive behavioral interventions. The current program serves 83 participants daily and provides 21 Supportive Living Environment (SLE) beds, targeting parolees with moderate to high rehabilitation needs. This amendment aligns with the Governor's January 2016 "Update to the Future of California Corrections" Blueprint, which expanded parolee service requirements beyond the original contract scope. WestCare has agreed to maintain existing fiscal year 2015/16 pricing levels without cost of living increases or inflation adjustments for the amendment period. The extension will provide CDCR time to redesign the service scope and conduct a new competitive solicitation without disrupting critical rehabilitative services.

The contract appears to be a non-competitive procurement with no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor types. The sole contractor for this amendment is WestCare California, Inc., which is continuing its existing service delivery model. The total contract value with this amendment will increase to $2,544,000, with a specific amendment amount of $636,000 for the one-year extension period. The procurement is specifically tailored to support parolee rehabilitation services and does not indicate requirements for disadvantaged business enterprises or other special vendor classifications. No additional infrastructure or technology integration requirements are explicitly mentioned in the documentation. The contract is being managed through the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation in coordination with the Department of General Services, with the primary goal of maintaining continuous rehabilitative programming for parolees without interruption. The non-competitive nature of this amendment suggests a strategic approach to maintaining critical services while preparing for a future competitive solicitation.
