Single Source 2601 FACE Program

The Florida Department of Elder Affairs (DOEA) is conducting a single-source procurement to establish a partnership with NAN Navigator to provide specialized Care Navigation services through the Florida Alzheimer's Center of Excellence (FACE) program. This procurement is jurisdictionally located in Leon County, Florida, and seeks to deliver advanced, personalized care coordination services to Florida residents living with Alzheimer's Disease and their family caregivers, with particular emphasis on individuals on the Alzheimer's Disease Initiative (ADI) waitlist and current FACE program participants. The core deliverables include care navigation services designed to address complex care challenges that exceed the capacity of existing FACE resources, providing comprehensive support and coordination for both patients and caregivers across Florida. Key objectives are to expand FACE's service capacity, ensure timely support for vulnerable populations with the greatest need for advanced care navigation, and strengthen the continuum of care for Alzheimer's Disease patients throughout the state. The required qualifications center on specialized expertise in dementia care coordination and the demonstrated capability to deliver personalized, comprehensive navigation services. The proposal due date is March 27, 2026, with the opportunity posted on March 6, 2026.

The procurement documents indicate this is a single-source procurement, meaning NAN Navigator has been identified as the sole qualified provider capable of delivering the required Care Navigation services, which effectively restricts competitive bidding to this specific vendor. The available documentation does not specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, minority-owned businesses, or other targeted classifications, nor does it detail possible award values or budget ranges for the engagement. The contract structure is designed to leverage NAN Navigator's specialized expertise while integrating with existing FACE program resources and infrastructure throughout Florida. No information regarding site visits, bidders' meetings, or question submission deadlines has been provided in the available materials. The single-source designation suggests that NAN Navigator's established infrastructure, technology platforms, and existing dementia care coordination capabilities have been vetted as meeting the Department's specific requirements for this specialized partnership.
