Virtual Peer Support Delivery – CRPSS-Basic Tier

The contract seeks to provide foundational virtual peer support services to individuals transitioning back into society after incarceration, leveraging mobile apps or video platforms to deliver reentry planning, emotional support, and connections to essential community resources. Services are designed to be accessible, consistent, and trauma-informed, with a focus on building trust and reducing recidivism through lived-experience peer mentors who guide participants through critical post-release challenges. The delivery method emphasizes remote engagement to overcome barriers such as transportation, stigma, or geographic isolation, ensuring continuity of care during the most vulnerable phase of reentry. This is a subcontract under a Small Business Set Aside designation, specifically targeting small businesses as defined by the SBA, with the NAICS code 621420 indicating outpatient mental health and substance abuse services. The opportunity was posted on August 3, 2026, with a response deadline of August 24, 2026, and is managed by the Community Treatment Services division under the Department of Justice. Performance is expected to center in Washington, though the virtual nature of the service allows for statewide or national reach. The contracting entity emphasizes scalable, technology-enabled solutions that align with justice reform goals, requiring proposals to demonstrate both operational capacity and cultural competency in working with formerly incarcerated populations.
