WI DOC Evidence-Based Program Standards: Cognitive-Behavioral Program; Employment Program; Sex Offender Treatment Service; Substance Use Disorder Treatment; and Virtual Program Delivery (Info only - This is NOT a bid!)

This posting is an informational Request for Information (RFI) from the Wisconsin Department of Corrections (WI DOC) outlining its new Evidence‑Based Program Standards across five service areas: Cognitive‑Behavioral Programs, Employment Programs, Sex Offender Treatment, Substance‑Use‑Disorder Treatment, and Virtual Program Delivery. The document does **not** solicit bids at this time; instead it provides standards, curriculum criteria, staff credentialing, and quality‑assurance guidelines that will shape future solicitations. Current contracted providers and prospective vendors are advised to review the standards and register on the Wisconsin eSupplier portal to receive upcoming bid notices. The posting also invites interested providers to complete a “Potential Service Provider Survey” for the Division of Community Corrections. • Highlights WI DOC’s shift to evidence‑based, risk‑need‑responsivity (RNR) driven programming. • Lists specific goals: improve consistency, fiscal efficiency, curriculum development, risk/needs assessment integration, continuity of care, and ongoing quality improvement. • Provides downloadable standards documents for each program area. • Indicates future solicitations will reference these standards; no current award or submission deadline. • Primary contact: Kathy Kaeding (email [email protected], phone (608) 240‑5587).
