Supported Employment Services

The South Carolina Commission for the Blind is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) to identify qualified providers capable of delivering Supported Employment (SE) services to individuals with the most significant disabilities, including youth (ages 14‑24) and adults. The RFI seeks detailed information on the responder’s existing SE capabilities, methodologies, geographic coverage within South Carolina, and any partnerships that would support service delivery. No contract award or payment is guaranteed at this stage; the information gathered will shape a future solicitation for a contracted SE program funded by federal and state grants. • Purpose: Gather market intelligence on SE service providers for potential future contract. • Scope of Work: Job coaching, on‑site training, employer consultation, bi‑monthly performance monitoring, and after‑hours support. • Response Requirements: Cover letter, company overview, answers to six specific capability questions, and any additional relevant information, submitted via email by August 28 2026. • Target Populations: Youth (14‑24) and adults with the most significant disabilities. • Geographic Focus: Service delivery throughout South Carolina, with travel as needed.
