Request for Proposals for a Grantee to provide Intensive Rehabilitative Mental Health Services (Youth ACT) in compliance with Minnesota Statutes, section 256B.0947.

The Minnesota Department of Human Services, through its Behavioral Health Administration, is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) to qualified providers to deliver Intensive Rehabilitative Mental Health Services, specifically Youth Assertive Community Treatment (Youth ACT), in accordance with Minnesota Statutes section 256B.0947. The RFP process is open until June 30, 2029, with an initial deadline for proposals on February 14, 2025. The initial contract, if awarded from the first round of submissions, is expected to span five years from July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2030, though the overall contract term depends on the date of submission. The RFP remains open for additional responses until the closing date, allowing new providers to submit proposals until then, after which interested parties must wait for a subsequent RFP. The project aims to secure services with a contract value ranging from five million to twenty million dollars. The solicitation is managed by the Minnesota Department of Human Services, with the primary contact being Kristina L. Peart. The services are to be performed within Minnesota, and the initiative aligns with the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code 621330, which pertains to outpatient mental health and substance abuse centers. This open and ongoing RFP process provides opportunities for providers to partner with the state to deliver critical mental health services to youth in need of intensive rehabilitative care.
