Fitness, health, and wellness recovery programs.

The State of Utah is seeking proposals for a pilot project funded through opioid litigation funds to develop peer-led fitness, health, and wellness recovery programs specifically targeting individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD) or substance use disorder (SUD). The procurement appears to be a targeted intervention designed to support recovery through group meetings and wellness events. The Statement of Work (SOW) indicates a comprehensive approach to creating structured recovery support programs that emphasize physical wellness as a component of substance use rehabilitation. Key deliverables likely include developing curriculum, training peer leaders, organizing group fitness activities, and creating measurable outcomes for participant engagement and recovery metrics. The contract opportunity was posted on August 21, 2025, with proposals due by August 28, 2025, presenting a tight seven-day window for potential respondents to prepare and submit their submissions. Evaluation criteria are expected to focus on the bidder's ability to design innovative peer-led wellness programs, demonstrate experience in substance use recovery support, and provide clear implementation strategies for engaging participants.

The solicitation does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types, though given the specialized nature of the program, respondents will likely need demonstrated expertise in substance use recovery, peer support, and wellness programming. While no incumbent vendors are identified in the provided documents, the project suggests a targeted approach that may require specialized knowledge in addiction recovery and community health interventions. The files attached, including the SOW, client service terms, and supplemental documentation, indicate a comprehensive procurement process. Though specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated in the available documents, the use of opioid litigation funds suggests potential meaningful funding for the pilot project. Potential respondents should carefully review the attached documents, particularly Attachment B SOW Health and Wellness RCC 26CR5, to fully understand the scope, requirements, and potential award parameters for this innovative recovery support initiative.
