Request for Statement of Qualifications #DMH021121B1

This Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFSQ) is issued by the County of Los Angeles, Department of Mental Health, to identify qualified providers to enter into Master Agreements for the delivery of eating disorders services and electroconvulsive treatment services. The County seeks qualified organizations to provide Acute Inpatient Care, Specialized Follow-up Residential Treatment Center services, Partial Hospitalization Programs, or Intensive Outpatient Programs for children, adolescents, and adults with eating disorder diagnoses, as well as electroconvulsive treatment services on an as-needed basis. The RFSQ solicits statements of qualifications rather than sealed bids, allowing the County to evaluate provider capabilities and experience. Interested organizations must submit responses according to the timeline and instructions specified within the solicitation documents. The resulting Master Agreements will establish an on-call arrangement whereby selected vendors provide services as the County requires them, rather than committing to a fixed volume of services or specific performance targets.

The RFSQ evaluates organizational qualifications, clinical expertise, staffing credentials, facility capabilities, and past performance in delivering specialized mental health services. Selected providers will enter into Master Agreements that allow the County flexibility in procuring services without conducting individual competitive processes for each service need. The solicitation may include set-asides for small businesses, local vendors, or other socially and economically disadvantaged enterprises as determined by County policy. Respondents should demonstrate compliance with all applicable County, state, and federal regulations, including licensing requirements, clinical standards, and insurance or bonding requirements. The County will evaluate submissions based on stated criteria and may conduct interviews or site visits with qualified respondents before making final selections for Master Agreement execution.
