Key deliverables likely include a detailed state plan document outlining service strategies, resource allocation, and programmatic goals for independent living support. The solicitation requires submission of written comments or hearing requests by Friday, April 4, 2025, at 4 p.m., with the final contract award anticipated after this deadline. The contract opportunity is posted on March 26, 2025, with proposals due by April 9, 2025.
