Request for Statement of Qualifications #DMH021121B1 Eating Disorders Services and Electroconvulsive Treatment Services

The County of Los Angeles, Department of Mental Health has issued a Request for Statement of Qualifications (#DMH021121B1) seeking qualified providers to enter into Master Agreements for eating disorders services and electroconvulsive treatment services. The solicitation targets organizations capable of delivering comprehensive mental health services across multiple care modalities, including Acute Inpatient Care, Specialized Follow-up Residential Treatment Center services, Partial Hospitalization Programs, and Intensive Outpatient Programs. These services are specifically designed to support children, adolescents, and adults diagnosed with eating disorders or requiring electroconvulsive treatment. Qualified providers must demonstrate extensive clinical expertise, appropriate licensure, staffing credentials, and facility capabilities to serve these specialized populations. The procurement will evaluate respondents based on organizational qualifications, clinical competence, operational capacity, and past performance in delivering mental health services. The initial response was posted on February 10, 2021, with a submission deadline of January 16, 3025, allowing providers significant time to prepare comprehensive statements of qualifications that address all specified criteria and service delivery requirements.

The solicitation appears to potentially include set-asides for small businesses, local vendors, and socially or economically disadvantaged enterprises, though specific details are not explicitly outlined in the provided documentation. Respondents must comply with County, state, and federal regulations, including specific licensing requirements, clinical standards, and insurance or bonding provisions. The Master Agreement structure allows for flexible, on-as-needed service engagement, meaning the County is not committing to fixed service volumes but rather establishing a pool of qualified providers who can be called upon as mental health service demands arise. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the services and the multi-year agreement timeline suggest a potentially significant procurement opportunity. The County reserves the right to conduct interviews or site visits with qualified respondents and may evaluate submissions through a comprehensive review process that assesses organizational capability, clinical expertise, and operational readiness to deliver specialized eating disorders and electroconvulsive treatment services.
