Request for Information (RFI) – Resources, Engagement, and Action for Community Health: State and Local Stakeholder Engagement Support

The Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), Office of Acquisition Management and Policy, issued a Request for Information on September 28, 2026 to conduct market research for a potential agency-wide initiative supporting state and local stakeholder engagement, with responses due by 12:00 PM ET on October 13, 2026. This RFI does not constitute a solicitation and does not obligate the Government to issue a solicitation or award a contract.

HRSA seeks to identify qualified organizations capable of engaging established national, state, and local networks; gathering, analyzing, and communicating information on emerging health needs, policy developments, workforce trends, and effective practices; convening stakeholders for peer learning and technical assistance; and disseminating HRSA resources across priority areas including primary care, nutrition, rural health, workforce, behavioral health, HIV/AIDS, maternal health, and telehealth.

Respondents must demonstrate established national reach and existing relationships with state and local decision-makers; an established network or membership structure capable of engaging multiple states; capacity to rapidly mobilize around emerging priorities; experience across multiple public health program areas; ability to gather and synthesize state and local implementation intelligence; capacity to disseminate HRSA resources and practices; ability to convene leaders; and capacity to coordinate existing HRSA-funded infrastructure without duplication. Organizations should provide business size, anticipated staffing, subcontracting partners, available contract vehicles, and relevant past performance.

Responses should not exceed 12 pages and may include alternative approaches clearly labeled as such. Submit to JBonilla@HRSA.gov. No reimbursement will be provided for response costs, and respondents will not be notified of assessment results.
