About this file
This Addendum 1 relates to an RFP issued by Rowan County, North Carolina, for evidence-based addiction treatment services targeting individuals with opioid use disorder. The procurement seeks qualified organizations to provide outpatient addiction treatment programs including clinical assessments, medication-assisted treatment (MAT) using FDA-approved medications, and transportation support. Proposals must be submitted in PDF format to the Rowan County Purchasing Department by Monday, April 6, 2026, at 10:00 AM ET, with written questions due by Wednesday, March 18, 2026, at 5:00 PM ET. Interviews and site visits are scheduled for April 7–13, 2026, with an anticipated award date of Monday, April 20, 2026. The contract term is three years. Eligible applicants include nonprofit organizations, governmental agencies, hospital systems, behavioral health and mental health providers, Federally Qualified Health Centers, colleges and universities, K-12 schools, and community-based organizations licensed to conduct business in North Carolina.
Rowan County will distribute a maximum of $300,000 over the three-year contract period, or up to $100,000 per year per contractor, distributed on a reimbursement basis for actual expenses with no advance or startup funds provided. Allowable costs include program implementation, transportation services (bus vouchers, rideshare services, cab gift cards, gas cards), and FDA-approved medications for MAT. Unallowable costs include indirect and overhead administrative costs, vehicle purchases, capital expenses, research, lobbying activities, and pre-award cost reimbursements.

Funding derives from the National Opioid Settlement Agreement, which provides Rowan County $28,195,968 over an 18-year period specifically designated for opioid mitigation strategies. Funded agencies must attend quarterly meetings of the Opioid Response Taskforce and participate in coordinated meetings with other funded agencies.
