Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral Treatment Service

The District of Columbia government is seeking a vendor to implement the Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment public health model for children, adolescents, and adults. The agency aims to integrate this model into routine care delivery within primary care and community health settings, including those providing ongoing care to patients with chronic or complex health conditions. This initiative addresses the need for early identification and intervention regarding underage drinking, opioid use, and other substance use. The scope of work requires delivering early screening and intervention for alcohol and drug use to all patients starting at twelve years of age. The selected vendor must also provide timely referrals to more intensive treatment for patients identified with substance use disorders. All contracted performance will occur offsite. Eligibility is restricted to onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is currently looking for proposals to determine the cost of these services. The source document does not contain evaluation criteria or key dates for this opportunity.
