This document is Appendix A to a Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFSQ) issued by the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health for the Student Professional Development Program (SPDP) Master Agreement, Bid No. DMH051220B1. The RFSQ seeks qualified entities to establish affiliations with local universities and professional schools to provide student training and experiential learning opportunities in the disciplines of nursing, occupational therapy, psychiatric technician, psychology, public administration, social work, marriage and family therapy, and vocational rehabilitation. Students participating in the program will fulfill academic curriculum requirements while gaining exposure to DMH's programs and services across all eight Service Areas of Los Angeles County. Multiple contractors will be selected to enter into Master Agreements with LAC DMH. The RFSQ documents and submission materials are available through the Los Angeles County Solicitations website and the LAC DMH contract opportunities portal.

There is no funding allocation designated for the SPDP Master Agreement. Interested vendors must meet all mandatory requirements and submit a Statement of Qualifications demonstrating their ability to successfully deliver the requested services. The Master Agreement structure allows LAC DMH to establish partnerships with multiple qualified educational institutions and professional schools without predetermined financial commitments, positioning the arrangement as a collaborative affiliation rather than a traditional fee-for-service contract. This approach enables DMH to leverage existing educational partnerships while providing students with clinical and professional development opportunities within the county's mental health system.
