APPLICATIONS FOR YEAR 2026 AREA PLAN GRANT CONTRACT SERVICES

Morris County is seeking proposals for the Year 2026 Area Plan Grant Contract Services through a Request for Proposals (RFP) to provide comprehensive services for county residents aged 60 and over and adult family caregivers. The procurement covers a 12-month service period from January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2026, with potential renewal for an additional twelve months. Services span multiple categories including Access Services, Home Support Services, National Family Caregiver Support Program, Nutrition Services, and Other Services, which encompass transportation, health assistance, care management, counseling, education, and support groups. Specific services range from assisted transportation and home health aide services to caregiver counseling, nutrition support, and social programming. The proposal must be submitted by July 31, 2025, at 11:00 AM Eastern Standard Time to the Morris County Purchasing Division, located in the Administration & Records Building in Morristown, New Jersey. Proposals will be evaluated, with contract awards anticipated within 60 days of submission, and all contracts are subject to fund availability and satisfactory performance.

Eligible applicants include non-profit, governmental, and for-profit agencies, with priority given to non-profit and governmental entities. The minimum funding request is $5,000, with a local match requirement of 25% for certain Title IIIB and Title IIIC services. Participants cannot be charged for services, though voluntary contributions are permitted and must be anonymously collected. Providers will be reimbursed quarterly based on unit costs, with local match and participant donations deducted from invoice submissions. Agencies must demonstrate expertise in serving elderly populations, maintain detailed records, use specified reporting software, and comply with state and federal regulations including anti-discrimination, confidentiality, and equal opportunity requirements. While specific budget ranges were not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of services suggests a substantial funding allocation. Vendors are required to maintain all documentation related to products, transactions, or services for five years from the final payment date, with records potentially subject to review by the New Jersey Office of the State Comptroller.
