This is a vendor forms attachment for a Delaware state contract solicitation (2-HSS-26-032) related to the Maternal, Infant and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program, administered by the Division of Public Health (DPH). The document provides standardized forms that responding vendors must complete as part of their bid submission for the Parents as Teachers (PAT) program expansion project, which aims to build capacity and target high-risk communities identified in the MIECHV Needs Assessment. The solicitation requires vendors to submit comprehensive vendor information, including company details, designated contacts, and business capability statements. Additionally, vendors must complete a non-collusion statement affirming they have not engaged in anticompetitive behavior, provide a minimum of three business references of similar size and scope, and disclose any federal, state, or local government suspensions or debarments within the past five years.

The vendor forms package includes several required submissions: an exceptions form allowing vendors to propose minor modifications to solicitation terms (subject to state discretion), a confidentiality form for designating proprietary or trade secret information in compliance with Delaware Freedom of Information Act requirements, and a subcontractor form for vendors proposing to use subcontractors, which requires both parties to sign and provide references. Vendors must also self-identify as diverse vendors and indicate any state or federal certifications. The MIECHV program is federally funded by the U.S. Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) and supports five evidence-based home visiting models, including Attachment and Biobehavioral Catch-Up (ABC), Early Head Start (EHS), Healthy Families America (HFA), Nurse Family Partnership (NFP), and PAT, representing a statewide collaborative approach to serving families in Delaware.
