The County seeks proposals for HIV, hepatitis C, and sexually transmitted infection testing; linkage to treatment for diagnosed individuals; connection to pre-exposure prophylaxis services; harm reduction services including syringe service programs and medication-assisted treatment; and wraparound social support services including housing, transportation, and food assistance. A pre-proposal conference is scheduled for October 9, 2026 at 1:00 p.m. via Microsoft Teams, with written questions due October 19, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. Proposals must be submitted by November 16, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. and must not exceed thirty pages excluding financial documents and supporting materials.

Pricing must be inclusive of all operational, overhead, staffing, and materials costs with a mandatory 10 percent administrative cost cap and all cost entries in whole dollar amounts. Subcontractor and consultant services and minor equipment purchases require prior County approval. Federal funding is anticipated through CDC PS-24-0047, which combines funding streams for national HIV prevention and surveillance and the Ending the HIV Epidemic initiative. Small-Local Business preference does not apply, though offerors are encouraged to complete the Small-Local Business Self-Certification form.
