About this opportunity
The City of Newark, New Jersey, is seeking a qualified non-profit organization to implement an Opioid Response Team (ORT) through Request for Proposal (RFP) #2023-07. This procurement aims to address the local opioid overdose problem through a comprehensive program utilizing ODMAP (Overdose Detection Mapping Application) data. The selected vendor will be responsible for creating an ORT with local stakeholders, conducting research on similar programs, coordinating addiction resources, and developing intervention strategies. Key deliverables include maintaining a 24/7 hotline for drug-related assistance and providing peer recovery coaches capable of performing both remote and in-person counseling services. The evaluation process will be points-based across seven criteria, including organizational qualifications, personnel experience, program goals, past performance, budget, and diversity initiatives, with a total possible score of 100 points. Proposals are due on March 16, 2023, at 10:15 am via the city's electronic procurement portal, with a non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting scheduled for February 23, 2023, at 1:30 pm via Zoom.
The contract specifically requires the responding organization to maintain non-profit status for at least 5 years, which serves as a primary restriction on potential bidders. While no specific disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly stated, the evaluation criteria include points for diversity initiatives, suggesting a preference for organizations that demonstrate inclusive practices. The contract is for a one-year term with an estimated budget of $200,000 in grant funds. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure that would require integration. The procurement is focused on Essex County, New Jersey, and aims to create a comprehensive approach to addressing opioid-related challenges through a coordinated response team that can provide immediate support, conduct research, and develop targeted intervention strategies.
