Provider Capacity to Deliver Critical Time Intervention

The Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services is seeking to assess the capacity of providers to deliver Critical Time Intervention (CTI) services aimed at supporting individuals during the critical transition period following their discharge from Montana State Hospital. The initiative is designed to ensure seamless support during this vulnerable time, with the goal of reducing readmissions and promoting stability in the community. The contract for these services is expected to range between $500,000 and $2,000,000, reflecting the scope and importance of the program. The solicitation, identified as DPHHS-RFI-2026-0639, was posted on November 3, 2025, with responses due by November 17, 2025. The Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services is the primary agency overseeing this effort, and interested providers can contact April Pfeiffer via email for further information. The RFI emphasizes that this is a market research effort to gather information on provider capabilities, experience, and potential risks associated with delivering CTI services, and it does not guarantee a subsequent contract. The initiative falls under the NAICS code 624190, which pertains to other individual and family services, and is part of Montana’s broader strategy to enhance post-discharge support for individuals transitioning from inpatient psychiatric care. The project aims to identify qualified providers capable of delivering timely, effective intervention services that facilitate successful community reintegration, ultimately contributing to improved mental health outcomes and reduced hospital readmissions across Montana.
