RFP-758-2500000122-14 | Halfway Houses and Recovery Kentucky Centers

The Commonwealth of Kentucky, through the Department of Corrections and the Finance and Administration Cabinet, is soliciting proposals under RFP-758-2500000122-14 for the operation of Halfway Houses and Recovery Kentucky Centers. These residential facilities are designed to provide reentry and substance use disorder treatment services to felons, probationers, parolees, and pre-release offenders statewide. The contract is structured as a firm fixed unit price agreement with an initial term of two years and the possibility of two additional two-year renewals. Multiple awards may be made to vendors who can provide operational facilities that comply with federal and state regulations, including the Prison Rape Elimination Act and the Privacy Act of 1974. Vendors must provide comprehensive technical solutions covering project management, security, and disaster recovery, as well as a fixed pricing agreement where any attempt to negotiate pay rate increases is considered a material breach. Key operational requirements include adherence to local health and fire codes, specific sanitation ratios, and the provision of nutritionally adequate diets. Proposals must be submitted by October 14, 2026, consisting of technical and cost volumes. Evaluation is based on a pass/fail threshold for technical compliance, with the Commonwealth reserving the right to negotiate with vendors prior to the final award. Compliance with Kentucky's Personal Information Security and Breach Investigation Procedures and Practices Act and strict insurance minimums for general, professional, and automobile liability are mandatory.
