Addiction Prevention, Treatment and Recovery Services

Wayne Township, New Jersey, through its Health Department, has issued a Request for Proposal (RFP 2328A) for qualified organizations to provide Addiction Prevention, Treatment, and Recovery Services. Released on December 8, 2025, the solicitation invites agencies to submit comprehensive proposals electronically by January 13, 2026. The scope of work focuses on delivering behavioral health services to residents affected by mental health and addiction issues, emphasizing community-based approaches, integration with clinical teams, and employment support to improve client outcomes such as enhanced employability and job retention. The contract term is initially for one year with possible extensions for up to four additional one-year periods, contingent on funding and performance. Deliveries or services are to be rendered within New Jersey at locations specified by the Township, with the contractor responsible for F.O.B. destination delivery and compliance with all applicable state laws. Proposals will be evaluated using a weighted point system prioritizing cost (40%), general and technical criteria (30%), and management qualifications (30%). The evaluation methodology emphasizes a trade-off approach rather than simply awarding to the lowest price, focusing on the most advantageous combination of quality and cost. Required proposal components include detailed applications covering applicant background and qualifications, facility descriptions, staffing plans, references, organizational information, and vendor questionnaires. Offerors must also complete affidavits affirming non-collusion and legal compliance, including disclosures related to ownership and activities in specified foreign jurisdictions if applicable. Contract provisions include termination for convenience with 60 days’ notice, compliance with affirmative action and equal employment opportunity laws, adherence to HIPAA regulations for protected health information, and confidentiality obligations. Pricing must be all-inclusive, covering packing and delivery, with hazardous materials labeled per New Jersey Worker and Community Right to Know Act standards. While no federal FAR clauses are incorporated, the solicitation complies with applicable New Jersey statutory and regulatory frameworks governing public contracts and health service procurements. Electronic submission through the Township’s procurement portal is mandatory, with no physical proposals accepted.
