The New Mexico Children, Youth and Families Department (CYFD) is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP #26-690-4000-34051) to establish a three-year cost reimbursement contract for comprehensive domestic violence services statewide.

The evaluation will be comprehensive, with points allocated across categories including organizational experience (300 points), references (50 points), mandatory specifications (200 points), financial stability (100 points), and cost (300 points), totaling a possible 1,000 points.

Providers must be prepared to submit monthly data collection reports, maintain detailed service records, and adhere to specific performance measures including client feedback surveys and risk assessments. The solicitation emphasizes comprehensive support with an focus on survivor safety, child healing, offender intervention, and legal assistance. Organizations must demonstrate clear strategies and experience in delivering services to targeted populations, with an understanding of trauma-informed care approaches.
