DHS SS for State Opioid Action Plan

The state of Illinois Department of Human Services (DHS) intends to award a sole source contract to Advocates for Human Potential for the State Opioid Action Plan. This procurement appears to be focused on developing comprehensive strategies and interventions to address opioid-related challenges within the state. The contract opportunity, identified by ID 68937cddd23474c6200df200, was posted on August 6, 2025, with proposals due by August 20, 2025. A critical procedural requirement is that any interested parties must submit written comments or request a public hearing by Friday, August 15, 2025, at 4:00 PM to the designated information contact. While specific deliverables are not detailed in the available documentation, the project seemingly aims to support state-level efforts in combating the opioid epidemic through strategic planning and potentially implementing targeted interventions.

Unfortunately, the attached government files (B-48785 FY26 SSJF State Opioid Action Plan.pdf and Sole Source Hearing Details Form) are displaying technical errors and cannot be fully reviewed. Consequently, additional details about set-aside designations, vendor restrictions, budget ranges, or specific qualification requirements cannot be definitively confirmed. The sole source nature of the contract suggests that Advocates for Human Potential has been directly selected as the preferred vendor for this project, which implies they likely possess unique capabilities or prior experience critical to the State Opioid Action Plan. The procurement is specifically for fiscal year 2026 and appears to be a targeted, strategic initiative by the state of Illinois to address opioid-related challenges through specialized consulting or programmatic support.
