Request for Applications 2026 – Aging Services Alamo and Bexar AAA Contracted Supportive Services for FY26 – FY30

The Alamo Area Council of Governments (AACOG) has issued a Request for Applications (RFA) for Aging Services Contracted Supportive Services for Fiscal Years 2026-2030, targeting the Alamo and Bexar Area Agencies on Aging (AAA). The procurement seeks qualified contractors to provide comprehensive aging services for individuals 60 years and older, including caregiver counseling, information services, support groups, training, chore maintenance, congregate and home-delivered meals, emergency response, health maintenance, legal assistance, personal assistance, physical fitness, residential repair, respite, social reassurance, and transportation. The RFA will be released on July 14, 2025, with multiple application deadlines: first round on October 1, 2025, second round on March 1, 2026, and final deadline on August 1, 2026. Electronic submissions are required via email by the specified deadlines. The contract will be an indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) agreement with an initial one-year term and options for four additional one-year renewals, not to exceed five consecutive years. Evaluation criteria will emphasize cultural competence, staff training, and ability to serve priority populations including rural residents, those with greatest economic and social needs, individuals with disabilities, and those with limited English proficiency.

Contractors must provide a minimum match of 10% for supportive and nutrition services and 25% for caregiver services, which can be in the form of cash or in-kind resources. Funding will be sourced from Title III B, Title III E, Title III C-1, and Title III C-2 of the Older Americans Act and State General Revenue through the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. While no specific set-aside designations are explicitly mentioned, the RFA appears to prioritize organizations with demonstrated capability to serve diverse and vulnerable populations. The contract structure suggests flexibility for various types of service providers, including non-profit organizations, community-based organizations, and potentially local government entities specializing in senior services. Although specific award values are not detailed in the provided summary, the multi-year contract and comprehensive service requirements indicate a potentially significant funding opportunity for selected contractors. The RFA's emphasis on cultural competence and serving priority populations suggests that respondents with robust community connections and specialized expertise in senior services will be most competitive.
