The City of Albuquerque, through the Albuquerque Police Department (APD), is seeking proposals for a comprehensive mental health and support services contract, specifically targeting APD personnel and their immediate families. The solicitation, identified as RFP-2025-721-POL-DZ, aims to secure a qualified behavioral health provider to deliver confidential services including psychotherapy, counseling, referrals, critical incident response, consultation, evaluations, assessments, training, research, continuing education, and outreach. Key deliverables include maintaining 24/7 availability, responding to critical incidents within one hour of notification, and providing services primarily at the APD Behavioral Sciences Main Office. The procurement requires providers to be appropriately licensed in New Mexico with demonstrated experience supporting law enforcement personnel. An Ad Hoc Advisory Committee will evaluate proposals using a point-based system considering factors such as experience, qualifications, past performance, proposed approach, management structure, and cost. A non-mandatory pre-proposal conference is scheduled for October 10, 2025, from 2:00-3:00 p.m. via Zoom, with proposal submissions due on October 30, 2025, at 4:00 p.m. Mountain Time.

Compensation is structured with a maximum hourly rate of $70.00 for approximately 34 hours of weekly services and an on-call rate of $500.00 per week for approximately 26 weeks annually. The contract will cover services in Bernalillo County, specifically within Albuquerque City, focusing on providing mental health support tailored to the unique needs of law enforcement personnel. No incumbent vendors are identified in the documentation, and no specific requirements for existing infrastructure or technology integration are outlined. Prospective offerors should note the comprehensive nature of the services required, which go beyond traditional mental health support to include specialized support for first responders, critical incident response, and ongoing professional development and outreach.
