About this opportunity

San Mateo County is seeking proposals for a Narrative Ethnography project through San Mateo Medical Center (SMMC) for the Health Futures Lab. The Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 66000-2526-216 aims to conduct an ethnographic study involving approximately 3,000 youth on Medi-Cal in San Mateo County. Key deliverables include formulating ethnographic prompts, submitting an IRB proposal, collecting youth stories, analyzing narratives, and creating a narrative impact video. The primary objective is to understand youth perspectives, challenges, and needs regarding behavioral health and engagement, with a focus on innovative care and payment model development. The RFP was released on September 29, 2025, with proposals due on October 24, 2025, at 1:00 pm, and an anticipated two-year contract term. Evaluation will be conducted by a committee using a points-based scoring system: 30% for project approach, 25% for firm qualifications, 20% for team qualifications, and 25% for price. Proposers must have provided similar services for the past two years and be legally authorized to do business in California.

The County provides a preferential point system for local businesses and non-profits, with potential additional points for small or micro businesses. Vendors must comply with multiple county requirements, including the Living Wage Ordinance, which mandates wage rates increasing to $17.00 per hour by July 2019, and various compliance attachments such as HIPAA regulations, Section 504 accessibility guidelines, and corporate compliance codes. Contractors will be subject to stringent intellectual property rights provisions, with all work products owned exclusively by the County. Additional requirements include fingerprinting certification for personnel who may interact with children, adherence to vendor access policies, and comprehensive insurance and data protection protocols. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the RFP suggests the contract is for a significant engagement, with the Sample Service Agreement template indicating potential contracts over $200,000. The County reserves the right to terminate agreements for non-compliance and emphasizes ethical business practices throughout the procurement process.
