Veterans Needs Based Assessment

The State of Nevada, through the Department of Veterans Services (NDVS), is seeking proposals from qualified vendors to provide a comprehensive needs-based assessment of Nevada's veteran population, with a focus on specific target groups such as homeless veterans, those with PTSD, disabled veterans, and those with opioid or other medical needs. The assessment aims to identify gaps in current service offerings and recommend programs and services to address the identified needs. The selected vendor will be required to conduct a literature review, engage with stakeholders, collect data, analyze service gaps, and gather veteran feedback. Key deliverables include a Needs Assessment Report, Service Gap Analysis, data visualizations, and a Veteran Feedback Summary. The evaluation criteria prioritize the vendor's experience with gap analysis, expertise and availability of key personnel, experience with healthcare integration and service models, and comprehensive reporting capabilities, with cost being the highest weighted factor at 35%. The solicitation has a deadline for proposal submission and opening of October 30, 2024.

The solicitation does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. There is no information provided about any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor is there any mention of existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The Department of Veterans Services anticipates a budget range around $25,000 for this work and is open to proposals of varying scope and cost, but the exact award value is not specified.
