About this opportunity
The New York State Office of Mental Health is soliciting proposals to administer Crisis Intervention Team programs and adjacent systems transformation work statewide, with proposals due October 14, 2026. This opportunity is reserved for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses (SDVOBs) only.
The scope requires the contractor to manage site selection for CIT programs, coordinate and facilitate training delivery, and provide ongoing technical assistance to selected sites. The contractor must also deliver technical assistance to localities seeking to transform their crisis response systems to develop more informed, empathic, and effective crisis response that minimizes intrusion in a person's life and diverts people experiencing emotional crises toward medical or mental health treatment rather than criminal justice involvement. The work encompasses partnerships among law enforcement, mental health and addiction professionals, individuals living with mental illness and/or substance use disorders, their families, and other community stakeholders.
The RFP document is available at https://omh.ny.gov/omhweb/rfp/. No MWBE or DBE participation goals apply to this procurement. The source does not identify a prior awardee or current contractor within the past five years, an estimated contract value, a contract term, or an evaluation criteria weighting. No pre-bid meeting or site visit date is listed.
Opportunity text
The New York State (NYS) Office of Mental Health (OMH) Diversion Center announces the availability of funds for the administration of Crisis Intervention Team programs and adjacent systems transformation work in NYS. The Crisis Intervention Team (CIT) program is a partnership of law enforcement, mental health and addiction professionals, individuals who live with mental illness and/or substance use disorders, their families, and other partners to improve community responses to mental health crises. While CIT programs are known for CIT-trained officers, successful programs also focus on adjacent system transformation work that supports improving the crisis response system, advocating for needed services, and strengthening partnerships across the community. The goals of CIT programs are: (1) to develop a more informed, empathic and effective crisis response system that is the least intrusive in a person's life; and (2) to help people who are experiencing an emotional crisis access medical/mental health treatment for illness related behaviors and avert the need for criminal justice system involvement. The goal of this RFP is to identify a qualified contractor to assume responsibility for the selection process of CIT sites, coordination and facilitation of training, and the delivery of on-going technical assistance to the selected CIT sites. This contractor is expected to provide technical assistance to localities seeking to transform their crisis response systems in alignment with the two goals described above. The RFP can be found at: https://omh.ny.gov/omhweb/rfp/ Business enterprises awarded an identical or substantially similar procurement contract within the past five years: None Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business (SDVOB) This opportunity is reserved for SDVOBs only.
