Request for Applications (RFA) for Residential Care Services for Eligible Ryan White Program Clients in Los Angeles County

The County of Los Angeles, Department of Public Health, issued Request for Applications (RFA) DPH-RFA-2026-006 on May 6, 2026, to procure residential care services for eligible Ryan White Program clients throughout Los Angeles County. The procurement seeks qualified organizations to deliver comprehensive residential care and supportive housing services to individuals living with HIV/AIDS, with a deadline for application submission on June 11, 2026. Selected contractors will be responsible for managing residential care operations, maintaining program quality standards, and ensuring full compliance with applicable regulations and Ryan White Program requirements. Applicants must demonstrate substantial experience providing Ryan White services, organizational capacity to deliver high-quality residential care, financial stability, and a clear understanding of the target population's supportive housing needs within Los Angeles County's broader HIV/AIDS care network. The evaluation process will assess organizational qualifications, experience, financial responsibility, and ability to coordinate services across the county's comprehensive care system. Applicants must submit detailed budget proposals using standardized worksheets (Categories 1-4) that itemize personnel costs, operational expenses, equipment, facility costs, and administrative overhead, with all proposals evaluated for cost-effectiveness and fiscal reasonableness.

The RFA includes provisions for business enterprise certifications, requiring applicants to complete the mandatory Certification of Business Enterprise (CBE) form demonstrating their status as minority-owned, women-owned, disabled veteran-owned, or other disadvantaged business enterprises where applicable. Applicants must provide accurate organizational information including business structure, ownership composition, annual revenue, employee counts, and supporting documentation from relevant certifying agencies. Incumbent providers may be eligible to apply and compete for continued funding, subject to satisfactory prior performance and continued program funding availability. The RFA may include contract renewal options contingent upon meeting performance standards and available appropriations. While specific award values and budget ranges are not detailed in the available RFA materials, funding is tied to the federal Ryan White Program allocation designated for Los Angeles County, with contract terms, performance monitoring requirements, and compliance oversight mechanisms established to ensure effective stewardship of public funds throughout the contract term.
