FY2022 - DBH SEH Comprehensive Financial Reporting

The District of Columbia's Department of Behavioral Health (DBH) is seeking proposals for a comprehensive financial reporting project for the Saint Elizabeths Hospital (SEH) for fiscal year 2022. This procurement opportunity focuses on securing professional financial reporting services that will support the agency's fiscal management and documentation requirements. The contracted entity will be responsible for developing detailed financial reports, analyzing fiscal data, and providing comprehensive financial documentation for the SEH facility. Key deliverables are expected to include comprehensive financial statements, in-depth fiscal analysis, and reporting that meets government accounting standards. The solicitation was posted on January 6, 2022, with a strict proposal submission deadline of January 14, 2022, allowing potential vendors a narrow eight-day window to prepare and submit their responses. Qualified respondents must demonstrate expertise in government financial reporting, possess advanced accounting credentials, and have specific experience with healthcare or institutional financial documentation.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the available information, the District of Columbia often prioritizes certified disadvantaged business enterprises and local small businesses in its procurement processes. The contract appears to be focused on professional financial services, which might favor accounting firms or specialized financial consulting organizations with demonstrated experience in public sector reporting. No incumbent vendor information is provided in the current document. Given the specialized nature of the financial reporting for a behavioral health hospital, potential vendors can expect a contract that likely ranges between $50,000 and $150,000, depending on the complexity and depth of reporting required. Respondents will need to demonstrate not only financial expertise but also an understanding of the specific reporting requirements for a public behavioral health institution, with potential integration requirements into existing financial management systems of the District of Columbia.
