The solicitation targets organizations capable of providing supplemental wellness-related services and programs for students, staff, and families, with specific focus on six primary service categories: physical education direct student support, health education direct student support, supplemental health and physical activity programming, professional development for physical education staff, professional development for health education staff, and whole school community professional development. Proposing organizations must align their services with the School Wellness Scorecard categories of Physical Education, Health Education, Physical Activity, School Environment, and Community Wellness Services. The procurement requires vendors to demonstrate the ability to build capacity within schools to ensure sustainability of wellness efforts beyond program implementation. The solicitation is open indefinitely, with proposals due at 65 Court Street, Room 1201, Brooklyn, NY 11201, and electronic copies required at DCPSubmissions@schools.nyc.gov.

This solicitation does not include a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned business set-aside, indicating open competition for all qualified vendors. The procurement covers multiple counties including Bronx, Kings, New York, Queens, and Richmond, suggesting a broad metropolitan area scope. Vendors must provide comprehensive documentation including company name, address, phone and fax numbers, email address, Tax ID Number, and MTAC Number in all correspondence. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the multi-county scope and comprehensive wellness service requirements suggest a potentially significant contract value. Interested organizations must demonstrate expertise in developing sustainable wellness programs that can be integrated into school environments. The NYCDOE will likely evaluate proposals based on organizational experience, program design, sustainability strategies, alignment with wellness scorecard categories, and potential impact on student, staff, and community health outcomes.
