RFI for Crisis Counseling Assistance and Training Program Service

The Department of Health, Adult Mental Health Division needs qualified onshore U.S. organizations to provide offsite crisis counseling, community-based outreach, and psycho-educational services in Kauai County and Maui County. The requested scope includes individual and group crisis counseling, brief educational contacts, public education, community networking, media messaging, and standardized data collection and reporting to aid recovery from the September 2026 Tropical Cyclones. The State may use responses to select providers for a federal grant application or directly award a one-year emergency procurement contract without issuing a separate solicitation. Eligible applicants must demonstrate organizational infrastructure, prior disaster response experience, and the capability to rapidly deploy cost-effective services. Respondents must comply with State laws by submitting valid paper compliance certificates, including a tax clearance with an original green stamp, and show proof of required general liability, professional liability, and automobile insurance coverage. The State evaluates responses based on the applicant's demonstrated capacity, readiness, service approach, and ability to meet program requirements within established timelines. Applicants can submit responses digitally via email or online, though the text specifies no submission deadlines or detailed budget amounts.
