The Delaware Department of Services for Children, Youth and Their Families (DSCYF), Division of Youth Rehabilitative Services, has an open professional-services RFP for Low-Level Supervision with Case Management and Dual Status Youth Meeting Facilitation under CYF2605-LOW_LEVEL / RFP CYF 26-05. The controlling RFP states that proposals must be received Thursday, September 24, 2026 by 2:00 PM Eastern Time. There is no bidders conference.
The scope covers community-based case management, compliance monitoring and supervision for youth primarily adjudicated on misdemeanors and non-violent felonies, with potential Youth Wellness Court and Truancy Court referrals. The RFP also requires individualized psychoeducational programming/community-service support and Dual Status Youth meeting facilitation. Typical youth are ages 12-21, and the solicitation expressly contemplates mental-health, substance-use, educational, trauma, family, transportation, counseling and vocational-support needs. Bidders may propose statewide service or service in New Castle, Kent, Sussex, or any combination of counties.
Funding: the RFP states that services are funded through DSCYF/DYRS but does not state a total award ceiling. DYRS prefers unit-cost/per-day pricing, while permitting either unit-cost or cost-reimbursable proposals. Cost-reimbursable proposals must include the required 12-month DSCYF Budget Form, Salary Detail and budget narrative. Matching or in-kind support can receive scoring credit, but the RFP does not establish a mandatory non-Federal match.
Submission: proposals must be emailed to DSCYF_Bids_Submission@delaware.gov. Cloud-storage links are not accepted, and the State email-system timestamp controls timeliness. Questions go to H. Ryan Bolles at herbert.bolles@delaware.gov. The package requires a written service narrative, Bidder Fact Sheet, signed Assurances and Certifications/Representations/Acknowledgements, and unit-cost pricing or the complete cost-reimbursable budget package. Successful bidders must satisfy Delaware business/licensing rules, supplier registration, background/fingerprinting/Child Protection Registry requirements, DSCYF documentation and data-security requirements, confidentiality/HIPAA rules, operating guidelines, reporting/audit obligations and insurance requirements. Subcontractors require prior Department approval.
Evaluation: program requirements 15 points; organizational capacity 10; service delivery/methods 20; monitoring/evaluation 20; experience/reputation 15; budget 20.
Atlas Opportunity Score: 82/100. N9+/direct Dr. Miltie fit: 2/100. QC Healthcare fit: 5/100 conditional. This is a legitimate Delaware youth behavioral-health/correctional-health and community-services opportunity, but the controlling scope is intensive juvenile-justice case management, supervision and meeting facilitation rather than Dr. Miltie’s core clinical-technology lane. Atlas is not forcing a direct-vendor fit. Applicant outreach should occur only after a provider’s juvenile-justice qualifications, staffing/background-check capacity, recipient, Email Opt-Out status and prior same-opportunity outreach are verified.
