Community Stabilization Services

The Department of Health and Human Services (DPHHS) of Montana seeks proposals from eligible county, municipal, or multi‑county entities to expand community‑based stabilization services statewide. The goal is to invest in infrastructure and service delivery that reduces reliance on the Forensic Mental Health Facility by providing a broader range of mental‑health, addiction, and correctional support services. Offerors must submit detailed business information, a scope of work response, qualifications, a budget worksheet, and any contract exception requests, and must certify compliance with state policies on equal pay, non‑discrimination, and confidentiality. This multi‑award RFP includes a variety of commodity categories such as law‑enforcement equipment, correctional services, mental‑health counseling, and addiction treatment. • Eligible bidders: Montana counties, municipalities, or multi‑county entities (private firms are ineligible). • Required deliverables: Full proposal package with business info, scope of work, qualifications, budget worksheet, and compliance certifications. • Key dates: Opening 7/28/2026, closing 9/29/2026 (sealed‑until). • Payment terms: Net 30 days after invoice; no advance payments indicated. • Evaluation: Mandatory requirements screened first; then scored criteria, with possible 5 % bonus for equal‑pay compliance.
