Mental Health Screenings, Assessments and Referrals for Diagnostic Assessment and Treatment Services

The Minnesota government authority is seeking a vendor to provide mental health screenings, assessments, and referrals for diagnostic assessment and treatment services. The agency requires the use of mental health screening instruments that are officially approved for child welfare and juvenile justice populations. To ensure quality, the selected vendor must utilize eligible screeners, specifically child welfare and juvenile justice professionals or mental health practitioners, who are fully trained and competent in these approved instruments. The scope of work is restricted to onshore organizations based in the United States. All contracted services will be performed offsite rather than at the agency facilities. The agency has not disclosed a set budget and is requesting cost proposals from interested bidders to determine the financial scope. The agency requires all clarification questions regarding this opportunity to be submitted no later than June 3, 2026. Evaluation will be based on the submitted proposals, though specific scoring criteria are not detailed in the initial solicitation. Bidders must demonstrate their ability to meet the training, staffing, and screening instrument requirements to be considered for selection.
