2022 RFQ - The Provision of Intensive In Home Individualized Clinical and Therapeutic Supports and Services for Children with Intellectual and/or Developmental Disabilities

This RFQ solicits qualified providers to deliver intensive in‑home clinical and therapeutic supports for youths under 21 with co‑occurring intellectual/developmental disabilities and mental‑health needs across New Jersey. Providers must submit a complete proposal package, secure an AOR, and comply with extensive training, documentation, and regulatory requirements (including Nurtured Heart Approach certification, Danielle’s Law compliance, and background checks). The contract operates on a fee‑for‑service basis, billing in 15‑minute units at fixed rates ($30.83 per unit for licensed clinicians). Twelve vendors were awarded the contract on 8/29/2022, each responsible for a portion of the statewide service delivery. The initial term is one year, with the possibility of multi‑year renewal contingent on performance. Key elements include: • In‑home, community‑based service delivery (no office‑only provision) with optional telehealth parent coaching. • Mandatory staff training (Nurtured Heart Approach, DIR/DIR‑Floortime optional) and strict compliance with state‑wide safety and privacy standards. • Billing through the DMAHS fiscal intermediary and data entry into the CSOC “CYBER” MIS system. • Ongoing post‑award obligations such as annual financial statements, insurance, labor‑harmony attestation (if >10 staff), and periodic training updates.
