DMH Interactive Map for Understanding the Geographic Dispersion of Mental Health Services RFI

The Massachusetts Department of Mental Health (DMH) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to solicit information from interested organizations and individuals to assist in the development of an interactive map for analyzing the geographic dispersion of behavioral health services in the state. The goal of this project is for DMH to identify gaps in service delivery, particularly among underserved communities and populations.

The RFI seeks information on management frameworks, key project components, essential data, historical contexts, community outreach, data analysis, and mapping technical requirements. Respondents are encouraged to provide supplementary information to support their responses, but marketing or promotional material will not be considered. The RFI indicates that DMH is interested in learning about cost drivers and minimizing them, as well as the appropriate funding commitment and project timeline. Additionally, DMH emphasizes the importance of ensuring racial and ethnic diversity throughout the project. Responses to the RFI are due by February 23, 2023, at 3:00 PM EST, and must be submitted through COMMBUYS, the Commonwealth's procurement system.
