Capital and Services in Support of the Opioid Use Settlement Agreement

The City of Albuquerque, located in Bernalillo County, New Mexico, is seeking proposals for Capital and Services in Support of the Opioid Use Settlement Agreement through Solicitation Number GA-2025-706-HHH-GB. The procurement targets qualified, not-for-profit organizations to fund shovel-ready capital projects and services focused on facility expansion and infrastructure improvements for opioid-related treatment, harm reduction, and recovery services. Key objectives include enhancing capacity and sustainability of programs addressing the opioid crisis, with a specific emphasis on evidence-based interventions for Opioid Use Disorder and co-occurring conditions. Recommended focus areas include connecting disconnected youth, comprehensive education, peer support expansion, recovery housing, community-based treatment access, Naloxone access expansion, and mobile crisis response services. The proposal submission deadline is October 20, 2025, at 5:00 PM Mountain Time, with a non-mandatory pre-proposal conference previously held on July 23, 2025, via Zoom. Offerors must submit detailed proposals including construction and services cost proposals, contractor qualifications, and a proposal bond, with evaluation likely focusing on program impact, community need, and organizational capacity.

The solicitation is exclusively available to not-for-profit organizations, with a strong emphasis on supporting historically excluded communities most affected by the opioid crisis. The total funding allocation is $10 million, with 40% ($4 million) dedicated to prevention and community revitalization programs, and 60% ($6 million) allocated to intervention and treatment programs. Individual project funding is capped at $7.5 million, with a requirement that funds must be non-recurring and limited to 15% for operating expenses. Projects must be completed within five years of contract execution, and organizations must demonstrate ability to implement equity-driven, data-informed solutions. The funding is derived from the Opioid Settlement Fund and is subject to City Council approval. Proposed projects will be evaluated on their potential to create sustainable, impactful interventions, with particular attention to organizations that can provide comprehensive, innovative approaches to addressing opioid-related challenges in the Albuquerque community.
