Youth Diversion and Development Services

The California government authority requires a vendor to provide youth diversion and development services for young people under age 18 who have contacted or face risk of contacting the justice system. The contractor must implement and evaluate community-based care coordination, offer individualized strengths-based care, and serve as the central contact point for enrichment activities and services. Additionally, the vendor must participate in developing and executing partnership agreements and demonstrate a commitment to community equity. The buyer limits eligibility to USA organizations. Bidders may submit responses digitally via email or online, and the buyer seeks budget proposals for a one-year contract period. Key procurement dates include a pre-bid meeting on August 25, 2026, and a final question submission deadline of August 28, 2026.
