Request for Information: Competency Restoration

The Massachusetts Department of Mental Health, through its statewide office DMH08, is seeking information from qualified vendors to provide a training series on an evidence-based, manualized competency restoration service. This request for information, identified by solicitation number BD-27-1022-DMH08-8210C-130916, was posted on June 29, 2026, with responses due by July 24, 2026. The initiative aims to gather pricing models, program structures, and implementation details from vendors capable of delivering standardized, clinically validated training to support individuals undergoing competency restoration in the state’s justice and mental health systems. All program delivery is expected to be conducted within Massachusetts, with the state's central office in Westborough serving as the primary point of contact for inquiries. The procurement is managed by Eleni Shaba, the designated purchaser, and while no specific set-aside or NAICS code has been specified, the opportunity is open to vendors serving state and local government entities. Interested parties must submit their responses through the official Commbuys portal by the stated deadline, as submissions received after this time will not be considered. The information collected will inform future contracting decisions regarding the expansion or enhancement of competency restoration services across the Commonwealth. Vendors are encouraged to provide comprehensive details on their methodology, staff qualifications, outcome measurement, and scalability to meet statewide needs.
