This Request for Proposals is issued by the New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Public Health, seeking qualified vendors to design and deliver evidence-based education, training, and programmatic support to healthcare organizations throughout New Hampshire aimed at reducing prescription drug-related harms. The solicitation requires vendors to provide academic detailing and operational support statewide, with services encompassing consultation with community health centers, recovery community organizations, and emergency departments. Vendor questions are due July 14, 2026, with proposals due July 28, 2026 at 12:00 p.m. EST. The Department anticipates awarding one contract with a performance period from September 2026 through August 31, 2028, with renewal options for up to two additional years. The contractor must establish a project kick-off within ten business days of the contract effective date, submit an initial work plan within ten business days thereafter, and engage a minimum of 300 providers across at least 100 practice settings by State Fiscal Year 2028. Additional requirements include conducting at least twenty CEU-approved training sessions within one year, maintaining three academic detailers, and facilitating monthly meetings with the Department, biweekly case conferences, and biweekly internal team meetings.

Performance metrics establish specific benchmarks for contractor success, including 80 percent of academic detailing sessions resulting in follow-up operational support, 80 percent of operational support sessions resulting in documented practice changes, 70 percent of providers demonstrating measurable implementation of evidence-based practices within 90 days, and 60 percent of practices showing measurable improvement in prescribing or referral metrics within six months. Technical proposals will be scored on 700 points across four mandatory evaluation criteria, while cost proposals will be scored on 300 points using a lowest-cost formula, with a minimum preliminary technical score of 400 points required for cost proposal opening. Funding is contingent upon availability and Governor and Executive Council approval, sourced from federal Assistance Listing Number 93.136 (NH Implementation of the Overdose Data to Action in States). Payment will be made monthly based on an approved Deliverables Rate Sheet. Contractors must maintain minimum commercial general liability insurance of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate, comply with federal civil rights laws, execute a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement, and securely transfer all data upon contract completion.
