Substance Use Disorder (SUD) Outpatient Services on Lana'i island

The contract opportunity involves the development of outpatient substance use disorder (SUD) services for adults on the island of Lāna‘i, Hawaii, under the auspices of the Department of Health’s Alcohol and Drug Abuse Division. Currently, the process is at the Request for Information (RFI) stage, aiming to gather community and stakeholder input to shape a future Request for Proposal (RFP). The anticipated contract may be valued between $500,000 and $1,500,000, with a focus on establishing a service delivery model that includes both in-person and telehealth modalities tailored to the unique challenges of a rural, geographically isolated community. The RFI emphasizes the importance of standards such as the ASAM criteria for assessment and continuum of care, and highlights the use of the ADAD Electronic Management Information System (eMIS) for data collection and reporting. Notably, no specific contractual clauses, FAR clauses, or detailed evaluation and award criteria are incorporated at this stage, as the process is preliminary. The upcoming RFP will likely specify detailed terms, evaluation factors, and contractual obligations. The current documents do not specify packaging, marking, or shipping requirements, as the focus is on behavioral health services rather than physical goods. Payment is envisioned through a prospective monthly rate, based on historical expenses and service volume, with potential for alternative reimbursement models such as fee-for-service or cost reimbursement. Administrative contact is Kathi Fujii, and feedback is requested by August 18, 2025, via email, with participation being optional and non-binding.
