PART I

GENERAL INFORMATION

I-1. Purpose. This Request for Applications (“RFA”) provides to those interested in submitting applications

for the subject procurement (“Applicants”) sufficient information to enable them to prepare and submit

applications for the Department of Human Services’ (“Department”) consideration on behalf of the

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania (“Commonwealth”) to satisfy a need for Specialized Services for

Persons with Disabilities and Nursing Home Transition (“Project”). This RFA contains instructions

governing the requested applications, including the requirements for the information and material to be

included; a description of the service to be provided; requirements that Applicants must meet to be

eligible for consideration; general evaluation criteria; and other requirements specific to this RFA.

I-2. Issuing Office. The Department’s Office of Administration, Bureau of Procurement and Contract

Management (“Issuing Office”) has issued this RFA on behalf of the Commonwealth.

The sole point of contact in the Commonwealth for this RFA shall be Charles Connahan,

RA-PWRFAQUESTIONS@PA.GOV, the Issuing Officer for this RFA. Please refer all inquiries to the

Issuing Officer.

I-3. Overview of Project. The Department’s Office of Long-Term Living (“OLTL”) is charged with the

statewide administration of the Nursing Home Transition (“NHT”) Program. The NHT Program was

developed to assist and empower individuals who want to move from a nursing facility back to a less

restrictive community setting of their choice. Through the NHT Program, participants can receive the

guidance and support they need to make informed choices about their long-term services and supports.

Additionally, OLTL oversees the delivery of Specialized Services to participants with Other Related

Conditions (“ORCs”), who have been identified through the Pre-Admission Screening and Resident

Review (“PASRR”) process as needing to receive additional services in a nursing facility. Specialized

Services consist of training, service coordination, advocacy, peer counseling and support groups,

community integration, and related transportation, which enable participants to acquire, regain, improve,

or maximize their skills and abilities, to live a more productive and satisfying life in the least restrictive

setting possible.

This Project combines both the provision of Specialized Services to identified nursing facility residents

and the provision of NHT services to eligible nursing facility residents who wish to return to a

community setting.

The provision of Specialized Services entails providing, on a statewide basis, information to individuals

residing in nursing facilities who have been determined to have a condition that meets program criteria

as an ORC for which they require Specialized Services, and supportive services to those identified as

needing Specialized Services and are not enrolled in managed long-term care, including Community

HealthChoices (“CHC”) or Living Independence for the Elderly (“LIFE”). The provision of NHT

services entails providing coordination services to nursing facility residents, excluding residents enrolled

in managed long-term care, who wish to transition from the facility to a less restrictive community

setting. With the implementation of statewide managed long-term care, both Specialized Services and

NHT services for individuals who are enrolled in CHC are now provided by the CHC managed care

organizations (“MCOs”) or LIFE providers; however, this Project will provide ORC-Specialized

Services and NHT services to individuals who are not enrolled in managed long-term care at the time of

service and will provide for Peer Counselors for Evaluation of Durable Medical Equipment (“DME”)

and explanations of the PASRR determination for all qualifying individuals, regardless of managed care

enrollment.
