The United States District Court for the District of Arizona is soliciting proposals to provide treatment services as outlined in the RFPs below. The offeror would provide services for male and female federal defendants/persons under supervision who have been ordered by the Court to participate in treatment.  These individuals include persons on probation, supervised release, or parole, who are under supervision of the United States Probation Office, as well as persons on Pretrial status under the supervision of United States Pretrial Services Office.

Request for Proposals (RFPs) can be found below.  The RFP contains the full text of all applicable Government regulations, and all offerors are subject to the provisions contained in the RFP.  In responding to the RFP, you should answer each item and supply all information requested.

A Bidder’s Conference will be held at both the Phoenix and Tucson Courthouses. Please see the Bidder’s Conference flyer in the menu to the lest for detailed information regarding this opportunity for explanation of RFPs and the completion process. 

Section L provides specific directions for potential offerors in completing the proposal.  The offeror should fully read Section L and follow the directions set forth.  The minimum standards for the services listed are contained in the Clauses and Terms of Agreement.  All proposals will be evaluated by the criterion explained in Section M.  Note if you intend to subcontract any services, instructions are included in Section L the offeror should follow. 

If you have any questions regarding the RFP, please submit your questions in writing to ContractTX@azd.uscourts.gov – responses to all questions will be posted on the vendor information tab of the District of Arizona Probation webpage (www.azp.uscourts.gov/vendor-information).

Proposals will be awarded on the basis of initial offers submitted, and each initial offer should contain your organization’s best terms from a cost and technical standpoint.  There will be no additional opportunity to modify your proposal.

Please read the RFP carefully; do not rely on knowledge of previous RFPs, or knowledge or previous Federal procurement procedures.  As a reminder, the offeror must have a physical site within the catchment area (unless otherwise indicated in the RFP), which will be evaluated during an on–site visit. Note: a catchment area may consist of multiple counties/zip codes, in which case the offeror must have a physical site within at least one of the counties/zip codes identified in that catchment area. 

An offeror must be capable of providing all services in-person identified in Section B, including local services identified at the end of Section C, and must have a physical site located within the geographic area identified in Section B.  If the offeror is unable to provide a service identified in Section B, and does not identify/subcontract with someone to provide the service, the offeror will be technically unacceptable. 

The estimated monthly quantity listed in Section B of the RFP is the estimate of the services to be provided during the terms of this agreement.  It is only an estimate.

Although the Government may choose to enter into a Blanket Purchase Agreement with multiple offerors, the Government reserves the right to award a single offeror.

The term for this Blanket Purchase Agreement is twelve (12) months with a start date of October 1, 2024, with a provision that shall allow the Government to unilaterally extend the agreement for an additional four (4) years, at four (4) twelve (12) month intervals, at the Government’s discretion.

Proposals are due by the date listed in the chart below and on the RFP. Proposals shall be e-mailed in pdf format to ContractTX@azd.uscourts.gov.  All e-mail submissions must reference in the subject line, the Solicitation number indicated in Section A, Block 1 of the Solicitation/Offer/Acceptance.  Hard copies will not be accepted.  It is the responsibility of the offeror to confirm the government’s receipt of the proposal. 

All proposals must be signed by a representative authorized to commit the offeror to contractual obligations.  Electronic signatures are accepted.   A copy of the Blanket Purchase Agreement, Clauses and Terms of Agreement, should be retained by the offeror for their files.

Sincerely,

Ana Angulo, Tara Barton, Josh Domschot, Eric Franssen & Lindsay Riess
