RFI 09001-2026 - Employee Wellness Support Program Services

The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) is seeking information from qualified providers to design and deliver a correctionally‑competent, statewide Employee Wellness Support Program for its staff. This RFI gathers capability data, cost approaches, and program designs that will inform a future Invitation for Bid. The program must cover 24/7 crisis intervention, critical‑incident debriefing, rapid mental‑health access, short‑term and trauma‑specific therapy, wellness education, resource linkage, and annual wellness examinations, with the ability to support five or more simultaneous CDCR worksites across the state, including rural locations. Respondents must submit a Letter of Inquiry by early October and a full narrative response with a cost analysis by early November. • Core services include 24/7 crisis response, on‑site critical‑incident support, and rapid mental‑health clinician access. • Additional requirements demand correctional competency, tele‑health and in‑person capabilities, and reporting mechanisms for employee feedback. • Vendors must outline capacity to serve multiple sites, provide cost breakdowns (in‑person vs. telehealth, travel, training), and demonstrate experience with employee wellness and trauma‑informed care.
