Opportunity Overview
The Texas Department of Family & Protective Services (DFPS), through Child Protective Services, maintains Open Enrollment HHS0014278 for the Intensive Psychiatric Transition Program (IPTP). The program seeks applications to establish contracts for 24-hour residential child-care services for youth requiring intensive psychiatric transition support through eligible General Residential Operations.
Deadline
The current Texas HHS opportunity page lists the submission deadline as August 31, 2029 at 10:30 AM CDT.
Healthcare Scope
This opportunity has a direct behavioral-health and psychiatric-services nexus. It is not a generic child-care, education, facilities, IT, or ordinary procurement opportunity; the funded service is intensive psychiatric transition care delivered through the state child-welfare system.
Funding and Eligibility
The public HHS summary does not state a fixed award amount or guaranteed contract value. Detailed applicant qualifications, residential-care requirements, licensing, staffing, service standards, reimbursement, insurance, and required forms are controlled by the current HHS0014278 open-enrollment document, application package, and addenda.
Atlas Assessment
Atlas Opportunity Score: 88/100. This is a durable Texas behavioral-health contracting pathway with a multi-year open-enrollment horizon. N9+ Fit: 0/100. QC Healthcare Fit: conditional clinical-services relevance. The opportunity funds psychiatric transition services rather than telehealth, connected examination devices, or general technology procurement, so Atlas should not force a device role.
