Proposals will be awarded on the basis of initial offers submitted, and each initial offer should contain your organization’s best terms from a cost and technical standpoint. There will be no additional opportunity to modify your proposal.
Please read the RFP carefully; do not rely on knowledge of previous RFPs or knowledge of previous Federal procurement procedures.
The estimated monthly quantity (EMQ) listed in Section “B” of the RFP is the estimate of the services to be provided during the term of this agreement. These are only estimates.
Although the Government may choose to enter into a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) with multiple vendors, the Government reserves the right to award to a single vendor.
The term for this BPA is twelve (12) months, with a provision that shall allow the Government to unilaterally extend the agreement for an additional four (4) years, at four (4) twelve (12)-month intervals, at the Government’s discretion.
A vendor must be capable of providing all services identified in Section “B,” and within the geographic area identified in Section “B. ** Please indicate the address where services will be provided in the Background Statement of your proposal.**
Questions and Answers
- Do substance abuse counselors need to be state certified, or can they be in the process of acquiring certification at the time the RFP is submitted?
Response: According to the Statement of Work, Section C: Counselors shall be certified and or have
credentials to engage in substance abuse treatment intervention as established by his/her state's
regulatory board and/or accrediting agency.
- Does the probation office dictate treatment services or does the professional staff decide how much treatment an offender receives?
Response: Yes, the probation office dictates treatment services and orders the services to be
provided utilizing the form 45. Only those services listed on the form 45 can be provided by the
vendor. Having said that, we hope to work in collaboration with the vendor and involve counselors
in the development of an appropriate treatment plan.
- Do the offers need to be in the Probation/Pretrial Office by 7/31/2026 at 12:00pm or can they be post marked for that day?
Response: The offers are to be received via email by 7/31/2026 at 12:00pm.
- The offeror is not required to submit solicitation sections C, D, E, F, G, H, and I as part of its proposal. What does solicitation mean exactly?
Response: Solicitation means a request for proposals. This statement is saying you do not have to
print out these sections and submit them with your proposal. Each offeror shall prepare and submit
as part of its offer a Narrative Statement in which the offeror describes how it will
provide the mandatory requirements stated in Sections C, E, F, and G.
- Is it necessary to type Section H and I in the proposal or can we just copy the pages and put in our bid?
Response: As outlined in Section L under Proposal Submission "Note: The offeror is not required to
submit solicitation sections C, D, E, F, G, H, and I as part of its proposal."
- Is the service delivered in a residential setting or in my office?
Response: Service needs to be delivered within the catchment area. A site visit will be conducted
to ensure all local, state and federal rules are followed.
- Do you have this solicitation, or at least the forms to be completed in Word?
Response: No- we do not create theses forms. They are generated by a national program which
utilizes PDF only.
