RFI - early childhood (birth through age 5) specialty mental health services

The County of San Diego's Department of Behavioral Health Services is requesting information on early childhood (birth through age 5) specialty mental health services, with written responses due August 14, 2026 at 5:00 PM San Diego Time. This is an RFI for planning purposes only and does not commit the County to issue a subsequent solicitation or contract.

The County seeks input on optimal approaches for implementing countywide clinic, home, and community-based services for this population. The questionnaire requests feedback on best-practice and evidence-based treatment modalities, experience with Parent Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), current service gaps, cultural considerations, and general implementation suggestions. A virtual RFI meeting via Microsoft Teams will be held July 27, 2026 at 10:00 AM San Diego Time.

Responses may be submitted electronically through the BuyNet system at https://sdbuynet.sandiegocounty.gov/ or by email to tiana.row@sdcounty.ca.gov. The County will not reimburse respondents for any information-gathering or administrative costs. All information provided in response is subject to disclosure under the California Public Records Act and may be used by the County without restriction. Not responding to this RFI does not preclude participation in any future solicitations. Direct inquiries to Tiana Row, Procurement Contracting Officer, at tiana.row@sdcounty.ca.gov.
