Required next actionOnly organizations that submitted the mandatory Letter of Intent by July 29, 2026 may submit. Eligible LOI filers should complete the full proposal, site/team selection, staffing, licensing, budget and required attachments before September 2, 2026 at 3:00 PM ET. Do not initiate outreach to new applicants that missed the LOI prerequisite.
Broad Eligibility
Eligible proposers are private provider organizations, including nonprofit or proprietary corporations or partnerships, Connecticut state agencies, and municipalities. Proposers must hold a current Connecticut business license and applicable DPH/children's behavioral-health licenses. A mandatory Letter of Intent was due July 29, 2026; DCF will not accept a proposal for a team/site for which the proposer did not submit the required LOI.
Atlas Analysis
Large statewide child and adolescent behavioral-health procurement for intensive in-home Multidimensional Family Therapy serving youth with substance-use and co-occurring behavioral-health needs. DCF states $9.8 million is available per year, with $700,000 per team, eight anticipated awards, 14 team sites and a three-year contract term. The RFP contains an internal drafting inconsistency: one sentence says DCF is seeking 12 teams, while the site table, total funding and award summary support 14 teams; Atlas therefore preserves the authoritative site table and flags the discrepancy rather than silently normalizing it. N9+ Direct Vendor Fit 25/100: this is primarily a licensed behavioral-health service procurement, not a medical-device or telehealth purchase pathway.
