Breastfeeding Peer Counsellor Services

The Delaware Department of Health and Social Services is seeking a vendor to implement breastfeeding peer counselor services throughout the state of Delaware. The agency aims to increase breastfeeding rates, frequency, and duration among eligible pregnant and breastfeeding mothers, with a specific emphasis on exclusive breastfeeding. Through this initiative, the agency intends to decrease breastfeeding barriers and health inequities, grow partnerships for peer counselor services, and meet or exceed Healthy People 2030 goals. The selected vendor must perform all work onsite within the United States, as offshore performance is not permitted. The agency is requesting proposals that outline how the vendor will establish the program as a premier breastfeeding promotion and support service. The initial contract period will span one year, and the agency is currently seeking budget proposals to determine the project funding. Bidders must submit all clarifying questions regarding this opportunity no later than June 01, 2026. The agency allows digital submission of the final proposals via email or an online portal. The evaluation will be based on the submitted proposals, though the agency has not disclosed specific weighted criteria in the initial announcement.
