RES-50-Beds-Moderate-Males-JSO-Central-C13

The Department of Juvenile Justice is soliciting proposals for a 50-bed moderate-risk residential program for males aged 10 to 21 requiring Juvenile Sexual Offender Treatment Services, to be operated in either a Department-owned facility at 9502 Columbus Drive, Tampa, Florida, or a respondent-owned or leased facility within the state. The program must deliver comprehensive, integrated services including delinquency programming, academic instruction, career and technical education, health and nursing care, recreation therapy, and specialized treatment for juvenile sexual offenders, all aligned with Florida statutes and DJJ policies. Proposals must demonstrate innovation, adherence to strict operational standards, and compliance with mandatory attachments detailing service delivery, facility requirements, staffing qualifications, budgeting, and financial viability. All clinical staff must hold active, unencumbered Florida licenses pre-approved by the Office of Health Services, and the provider is required to collect juvenile thumbprint imprints for DNA submission to the FDLE. The contract is anticipated to be a fixed-price award with a performance period from September 1, 2026, through June 30, 2029, and will be evaluated on a trade-off basis that prioritizes technical merit and financial viability over lowest price alone. Evaluation criteria emphasize core service areas—including Juvenile Sexual Offender Treatment, Health and Nursing Services, Delinquency Programming, and Staffing Levels—with each factor scored on a 0 to 3-point scale based on thoroughness and compliance. Proposals must be submitted in three electronic volumes via the DJJ Bid Library SharePoint portal by the March 6, 2026, deadline, adhering to strict formatting rules including a 70-page maximum for the narrative, 12-point Times New Roman font, and black-and-white printing only. A prohibited communication window exists between solicitation release and 72 hours after award, and vendors must certify compliance with the Foreign Country of Concern Attestation, submit a CMBE Subcontracting Plan, and agree to full cooperation with the Office of Inspector General. Financial proposals must conform to prescribed budget templates, and failure to meet any mandatory requirement, including insurance coverage, facility certifications, or staffing credentials, will result in proposal rejection.
