About this opportunity
The Washington State Health Care Authority (HCA) is procuring a sole source contract with Chad's Legacy Project to advance mental health education and systems innovation across multiple Washington counties, including but not limited to Franklin, Grant, Grays Harbor, Chelan, and Yakima Counties. The contract aims to develop an innovative mental health education model for schools, with key deliverables including curriculum vetting, implementation resource support, online teacher access, and distribution of Mental Health First Aid (MHFA) manuals to rural instructors. Specific objectives include creating a peer training scholarship program for 15 individuals, administering MHFA manual support for 50 new trainees, conducting a Washington State Mental Health Summit in May 2025, expanding the mentalhealthinstruction.org website with new curriculum categories, and updating the chadslegacy.org website. The procurement follows Senate Bill 5950, Section 215(149), which directs HCA to contract with a nonprofit organization focused on mental illness education, stigma elimination, and care coordination. The solicitation was posted on February 27, 2025, with a response deadline of March 13, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time, and the contract period runs from execution through June 30, 2026, with a potential one-year extension option.
This sole source contract is specifically targeted to Chad's Legacy Project, which was identified as uniquely qualified based on its seven-year experience in mental health education and support from Representative Chris Corry. The procurement does not appear to have specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, and no other vendors were found to meet the comprehensive requirements. The total maximum contract value is $200,000, allocated across five main deliverable categories with varying funding levels: $25,000 for peer training scholarships, $20,000 for MHFA manual support, $35,000 for the Mental Health Summit, $100,000 for website expansion, and $20,000 for website updates. The contract is funded through state appropriations and is exempt from Governor's Directive 24-19 due to providing essential mental health support services. Market research conducted by HCA evaluated potential alternative providers like NAMI and The Trevor Project but determined that Chad's Legacy Project was the most suitable organization to meet the specified contract requirements.
