Street Outreach Housing Services

The City of Albuquerque, through its Community Safety Department (ACS), is issuing Request for Proposals RFP-2026-757-ACS-DV to procure fiscal administration and program management services for Street Outreach Housing Services. The procurement seeks qualified nonprofit or governmental entities to serve as fiscal administrators for three integrated housing stability programs with a combined annual budget of $1.9 million: housing stability subsidies and vouchers ($900,000), eviction prevention services for landlords ($600,000), and eviction prevention services for renters ($400,000). The selected contractor will function as a fiscal sponsor responsible for fund disbursement, financial accountability, compliance monitoring, and monthly reporting to ACS without providing direct program services. The contractor will serve individuals and families experiencing homelessness or at high risk of homelessness, with particular focus on those with opioid addiction, referred through ACS's Street Outreach division. Required qualifications include a minimum of ten years of experience as a fiscal administrator or in a similar role, with references from work completed within the past three to five years. The initial contract term is one year with four possible one-year extensions for a maximum five-year contract period. Proposals will be evaluated on technical merit (800 points) comprising general approach (255 points), experience and qualifications (225 points), project management and resources (220 points), past performance (100 points), and overall ability to complete the project (100 points), with cost (100 points) comprising the remaining evaluation weight. The proposal deadline is April 17, 2026, at 4:00 p.m. Mountain Time, with a non-mandatory pre-proposal conference scheduled for March 26, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. via Zoom.

Eligible respondents are limited to nonprofit organizations and governmental entities, with the City reserving the right to award to multiple offerors if deemed in the City's best interest. Offerors must comply with all City purchasing ordinances, civil rights requirements, and applicable procurement preferences, and must submit a Pay Equity Reporting Form as part of their proposal. All insurance requirements must be met, including commercial general liability of $2,000,000 per occurrence, automobile liability of $1,000,000, workers' compensation, professional liability of $1,000,000, and cyber liability of $2,000,000. Cost proposals must be submitted separately from technical proposals through the City's eProcurement System (Bonfire), with all proposed costs including applicable gross receipts taxes. The potential contract value over the maximum five-year term could reach approximately $9.5 million based on the stated annual funding levels of $1.9 million, though specific award amounts and any set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are not indicated in the available documentation. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation materials provided.
