Solicitations for Blanket Purchase Agreements may be issued for districts in the United States and territories, including Alaska, Hawaii, District of Columbia, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and U.S. Virgin Islands.

Required Treatment Services may include, but are not limited to: urine collection, counseling (to include mental health, substance use, and or/sex offense treatment), physical examinations, outpatient and inpatient detoxification, medication, short and long term residential treatment, and transportation.
