Event Description

South Dakota is committed to fostering a system of long-term care services and supports by

administering programs, services, and activities in the most integrated setting appropriate to the

needs of its older citizens and persons with disabilities.

Pursuant to SDCL §§ 34-12-35.6 & 35.7, the Department of Health (DOH) may annually consider

the need for additional nursing facility beds in defined areas of the State and may increase the

number of nursing home beds in order to meet an identified need in the State. Pursuant to SDCL

§ 34-12-35.8, DOH shall solicit proposals through the statutorily established request for proposals

process. The specific purpose of this RFP is to solicit proposals from long-term care providers

who are interested in obtaining additional long-term care nursing facility beds. Proposals will be

accepted on an on-going basis until June 30, 2026, or until all available beds have been

reallocated. Proposals will be evaluated upon submission and in the order in which they are

received.

Consistent with our efforts to identify and address identified needs for additional long-term care

nursing facility capacity within the state, the Department of Health also strongly encourages

providers to expand their capacity to deliver home and community-based services to ensure that

all South Dakotans have the opportunity to live close to family and friends, achieve maximum

independence, engage in productive and fulfilling employment, and participate in community life.

Currently, DOH has available a total of 991 nursing facility beds that are eligible to be reallocated

in order to meet the long-term care needs of the residents of South Dakota. Proposals are being

solicited statewide in an effort to increase additional long-term care capacity within the State.

Preference will be given to proposals to the degree that they seek to address the particular

special care needs in each area as outlined in this RFP, and to the respondent’s commitment to

consider developing home and community-based services into the future.

Offerors may email inquiries concerning this RFP to obtain clarification of requirements. No

inquiries will be accepted after the date and time indicated in the Schedule of Activities. Inquiries

must be emailed to Jennifer Maeschen at Jennifer.Maeschen@state.sd.us with the subject line

“RFP # 26-0903002-0002”.

The State will to respond to offeror’s inquiries (if required) via e-mail. In addition, all inquiries and

the State’s response will be posted on the state’s e-procurement system. Offerors may not rely on

any other statements, either of a written or oral nature, that alter any specification or other term or

condition of this RFP. Offerors will be notified in the same manner as indicated above regarding

any modifications to this RFP.
