Behavioral Health Gap Analysis Services

The New Mexico Health Care Authority requires a vendor to provide behavioral health gap analysis services serving individuals across the lifespan, followed by two subsequent reports within 24 months of the initial analysis. The vendor must apply a strategic, data-driven approach to identify shortages in mental health and substance use disorder treatment and workforce capacity, developing targeted recommendations to guide policy, funding, and service delivery changes. These reports will inform implementation, track progress of the Behavioral Health Reform and Investment Act, and include a focused section on service gaps for adults with behavioral health needs and justice involvement. Eligibility is limited to onshore, United States organizations only, and the selected vendor will perform the work offsite from their own office premises. The contract term spans four years, and the authority is currently looking for budget proposals. Applicants must submit all questions no later than October 26, 2026.
