RFP for Asset Mapping & Collective Impact Grant Project

Queen Anne's County is seeking a vendor to conduct a comprehensive asset mapping and collective impact grant project through a Request for Proposal (RFP) with a submission deadline of March 14, 2025. The selected vendor will be responsible for identifying and analyzing community resources across multiple service domains including education, health, economic support, housing, workforce development, and family services. Key deliverables include developing a structured inventory of community assets through data collection from service providers, government agencies, nonprofits, and community stakeholders. The project requires extensive community engagement through focus groups, surveys, and community meetings to validate findings and assess service gaps. The vendor must produce a final report that summarizes asset mapping results, community feedback, and strategic recommendations to support the development of a Community Collaboration Hub. The project aims to create a centralized platform that enhances service accessibility, tracks resource utilization, and improves interagency collaboration. Vendor qualifications will likely include expertise in community research, data analysis, stakeholder engagement, and strategic planning.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the procurement document, the project appears to be open to a broad range of qualified consulting firms and research organizations with demonstrated capabilities in community asset mapping and collaborative strategic planning. The potential award suggests a comprehensive scope of work that would require significant organizational capacity and potentially substantial resources. Although a specific budget range is not provided, the complexity of the project—which involves extensive stakeholder engagement, data collection, analysis, and strategic recommendation development—indicates a potentially significant contract value. The project's focus on developing a Community Collaboration Hub suggests potential for ongoing engagement or follow-up projects beyond the initial asset mapping initiative. Vendors should be prepared to demonstrate expertise in qualitative and quantitative research methodologies, community development strategies, and the ability to synthesize complex stakeholder information into actionable strategic recommendations.
