NOTICE OF PROPOSED SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENT:

Opioid Use Disorder (OUD) is a public health crisis affecting our community and is
highly prevalent among justice-involved individuals. Incarceration poses
challenges to provide proper care to individuals experiencing OUD. Genesee
County Sheriff's Office (GCSO) has contracted with New Paths, Inc for over four
(4) years for substances use disorder services for individuals that are incarcerated.
Recently, GCSO was awarded a contract with the Michigan State Police for
Residential Substance Abuse Treatment (RSAT), specific to Jail Medicated
Assisted Treatment (MAT)/ Medicated Opioid Use Disorder Treatment (MOUD).
Genesee County is seeking a provider that will create support services that will
assist these individuals in transitioning both in and out of incarceration.

Purpose of This Notice of Proposed Sole Source Posting:
The intent of this posting is to verify with the vendor community that the proposed
request is indeed a valid sole source.

continuation of care while lodged at the Genesee County Jail and upon release.

New Paths provides services of purchasing and prescribing appropriate medication to
inmates.

New Paths provides support systems that assist people as they transition both in and
out of jail.

New Paths provides jailed-based treatment services, peer recovery coaching, and
other medical support.

New Paths coordinates in-reach, outreach and treatment for individuals with a history
of substance use disorder who enter jail, incarcerated, and/or re-entering the
community.

2. The purchaser must be able to show specific business objectives that can be met
only through the unique product or services:

individuals.
B. Provide plan on purchasing and administrating appropriate medication to
individuals who are incarcerated.

C. Provide support services that assist incarcerated individuals in transitioning into
the community in which they live.
