Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFSQ) for Substance Use Supportive Services

The County of Los Angeles, Department of Public Health is issuing a Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFSQ) to establish master agreements with providers of Substance Use Supportive Services. This procurement seeks qualified organizations capable of delivering comprehensive substance use support services to individuals across Los Angeles County. The RFSQ operates on a continuous basis, with Statements of Qualifications (SOQs) accepted and reviewed at the County's convenience, allowing for ongoing evaluation and selection of service providers. Potential providers must demonstrate organizational capacity, relevant experience in substance use services, compliance infrastructure, and ability to serve diverse populations. Evaluation criteria will focus on organizational qualifications, programmatic expertise, fiscal stability, and alignment with County priorities and regulatory requirements. While no specific response deadlines are mandated, providers must complete and submit all required forms and exhibits outlined in Appendix B, which includes nine standardized documentation templates covering administrative, programmatic, and fiscal compliance aspects. The continuous intake process enables the County to build a roster of pre-qualified master agreement holders without fixed award dates, facilitating responsive procurement of services as community needs evolve.

The RFSQ documentation does not explicitly detail set-aside designations or specific restrictions on responding organizations. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the provided documents. The solicitation appears open to various types of organizations with demonstrated expertise in substance use supportive services, suggesting a broad approach to provider selection. While specific award values or budget ranges are not disclosed, the master agreement framework indicates that pricing and contract terms will be negotiated during the agreement development phase with qualified respondents. The continuous submission model allows the County flexibility in establishing master agreements as funding becomes available and programmatic needs are identified. Providers selected will be positioned to receive task orders or statements of work as service needs arise, with the potential for ongoing service delivery contracts based on their demonstrated qualifications and ability to meet the County's substance use supportive service requirements.
