Research and Consulting Services

An Alabama government authority is seeking research and consulting services to improve reentry outcomes for formerly incarcerated individuals. The agency requires recommendations and implementation guidance for strategies to improve continuity of care and to enhance information sharing relevant to reentry. The selected contractor must also provide recommendations and implementation guidance for uniform standards of care for incarcerated, supervised, and released individuals with substance abuse disorder or co-occurring disorders. The scope of work includes establishing a process for data collection and collaborating on workforce development efforts. This task may involve coordinating with partner agencies for data collection, collaboration, and reporting. Additionally, the agency requires the collection of pre- and post-release data on initiation, engagement, retention, and continuity of care. Only onshore organizations based in the United States are eligible to bid on this opportunity. The agency expects the performance of all contracted work to occur offsite. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is looking for cost proposals from interested bidders.
