FY27 Treatment Services: Eastern District of Texas

The United States Probation and Pretrial Services Office for the Eastern District of Texas is soliciting proposals under a Blanket Purchase Agreement to secure behavioral health treatment services, including urine collection, testing, and reporting, for federal defendants and individuals under supervision in the Paris, TX catchment area. The contract period runs from October 1, 2026, through September 30, 2027, with an option to extend for up to four additional years in twelve-month increments under Clause 2-90D, requiring 60 days’ written notice prior to each expiration. A separate option under Clause 2-90C permits up to six months of additional service time in total, exercisable more than once. Proposals must be submitted electronically by July 27, 2026, via email to the designated portal, with mandatory adherence to the AO 367 form and all attachments including Staff Qualification Statements, Monthly Sign-In Logs, Drug Testing Logs, and an Invoice Template. Only technically acceptable proposals will proceed to price evaluation, with award determined on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) basis, meaning technical pass/fail criteria are a threshold, not a scored factor. Offerors must demonstrate they have an operational facility within the specified area, employ licensed and qualified staff with verified credentials and clean criminal backgrounds—particularly disqualifying those with sex offense histories or current investigations—and provide pricing no higher than the lowest rate offered to their most favored customer under similar terms. All services must comply with federal and state confidentiality laws, maintain chain-of-custody protocols for specimen handling using tamper-evident, barcoded NIDT cups, and store specimens at 90–100°F within four minutes of collection. Security requirements under Clause 2-57 mandate immediate reporting of any sensitive information breaches, and all staff must complete annual training on handling protected data; no sensitive information may be stored on mobile devices without explicit authorization. Invoices are due monthly by the 10th of the following month, submitted via the prescribed template in compliance with HIPAA standards, and must include project codes and supporting documentation. Any change in performance location requires 30-day notice and a formal SF-30 modification. Contractors are prohibited from employing persons under supervision or current Judiciary personnel and must disclose all subcontractors and past audit findings; failure to maintain active SAM registration, meet technical requirements, or comply with any mandatory provision will result in proposal rejection or contract termination
