Community Needs Assessment Services

The government authority in Maryland requires a vendor to provide community needs assessment services to evaluate relationships among housing, economic opportunity, demographic trends, projected growth, and community well-being. The buyer needs an independent, data-informed evaluation of current conditions, emerging trends, economic conditions, community assets, infrastructure, geographic disparities, and regional relationships. The selected consultant must deliver practical recommendations that support coordinated planning, long-term affordability, strategic investment, and improved outcomes for children, youth, families, and communities consistent with the Required Planning Framework. Only United States organizations are eligible to submit proposals for this opportunity. The vendor will perform all work offsite. The buyer seeks proposal submissions for the budget and requires vendors to submit all questions no later than August 31, 2026. The text does not provide additional evaluation criteria or submission deadlines.
