Open through September 25, 2026 at 2:00 PM prevailing AKST under Amendment #7. The Alaska Department of Corrections, Division of Health and Rehabilitation Services, is soliciting qualified vendors to provide evidence-based substance use disorder treatment services at Wildwood Correctional Complex in Kenai. Amendment #7, issued September 11, 2026, extends the proposal deadline to September 25, 2026 at 2:00 PM prevailing AKST. Amendment #7 changes the proposal deadline date and time only; the base RFP states that all times are Alaska Standard Time and identifies the proposal deadline as prevailing AKST.
The scope includes SUD screenings, ASAM assessments, treatment referrals, release planning, Residential Substance Abuse Treatment (RSAT), psycho-educational programming, and related documentation and coordination with correctional medical, mental-health and probation personnel. The controlling RFP states that services are to be provided in person.
Funding / contract value: The RFP states that the Department has established a firm budget, but the public RFP materials reviewed by Atlas do not disclose a dollar ceiling. Contract continuation is subject to legislative appropriation and programmatic need.
Mandatory qualifications: The successful offeror must be qualified to provide SUD treatment in Alaska and must be able to produce a current Alaska Department of Health Division of Behavioral Health Department Approval Certificate under 7 AAC 70.030 within three business days of request. Contract staff must hold full or provisional Qualified Addiction Professional (QAP) approval, with role-specific experience and education. Failure to meet the minimum prior-experience requirements makes an offer non-responsive.
Submission: Proposals may be submitted as instructed in the controlling RFP; the public notice warns vendors who obtained the solicitation from the Online Public Notice site to register with Procurement Officer Allan Oyao so they receive subsequent amendments. Amendment #7 must be signed and returned with the proposal. Offerors should review and acknowledge all applicable amendments.
Atlas Opportunity Score: 58/100. This is a legitimate open Alaska correctional-health procurement. The mandatory Alaska SUD-provider approval, QAP staffing, in-person delivery, and prior-experience requirements substantially narrow the qualified vendor pool.
N9+ Fit Score: 0/100. The solicitation requires in-person SUD treatment and does not establish a remote-exam, telehealth-device or connected-diagnostics scope. Atlas will not force N9+ into this procurement. QC Healthcare or another Dr. Miltie capability should be considered only if the bidding entity can independently document every mandatory Alaska SUD treatment approval, staffing and experience requirement.
Direct-vendor review: Dr. Miltie is not advanced as a direct bidder on currently verified records. Atlas found no internal evidence of the required Alaska Department Approval Certificate or QAP staffing. The extended deadline does not cure those mandatory qualification gaps, so no direct submission or applicant outreach is advanced on current records.
