Description
The State of California’s Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) is seeking a contractor (or up to two) to provide “Specialized Treatment for Optimized Programming” (STOP) services. The award will cover up to six program‑area contracts, each delivering a network of community‑based providers that offer substance‑use disorder treatment, case management, employment services, housing, and related supportive services to individuals transitioning from incarceration. The contractor must operate a Placement Office in each awarded area, manage subcontractors, report data via CDCR’s ARMS system, and comply with a suite of federal and state regulations (HIPAA, PREA, security clearance, etc.). Funding caps are set per program area, with the total maximum base‑year funding nearing $400 million, plus a large “Returning Home Well Housing” (RHWH) component that is contingent on state budgeting.
