RFSQ2025-001AddendumNumber1.pdf

This is Addendum Number 1 to Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFSQ) 2025-001 issued by the County of Los Angeles, Department of Public Health for master agreements to provide as-needed substance use disorder treatment services at county behavioral health facilities. The addendum modifies the original RFSQ requirements and clarifies submission procedures for qualified providers seeking to establish ongoing master agreements. Statements of Qualifications are accepted on a continuous basis and reviewed at the county's convenience, allowing potential providers to submit applications throughout the year rather than in response to a single deadline. The document specifies how providers should address the modified requirements and ensures all prospective contractors understand the updated scope and expectations for service delivery.

The addendum provides essential clarifications regarding submission requirements, evaluation criteria, or administrative procedures that vendors must follow when responding to the original RFSQ. As a master agreement procurement, successful providers will establish framework agreements with the county for delivery of substance use disorder treatment services as needed, rather than committing to specific quantities or predetermined schedules. The continuous acceptance model allows the county flexibility in onboarding qualified providers and enables multiple awards to vendors meeting the qualification standards, supporting the county's ability to access treatment services across its behavioral health facilities as demand fluctuates.
