RFI for Faith-Based Leadership Training and Community Engagement Services

The New York State Office of Addiction Services and Supports requests information from organizations capable of equipping faith leaders and communities to address substance use disorders and overdose. Desired program areas include recruiting diverse faith leader cohorts, providing structured training on harm reduction, stigma reduction, and treatments, connecting faith groups with local providers, supporting community outreach projects, and sharing evaluation data. Only onshore USA organizations are eligible, and respondents need not be faith-affiliated. Work will be performed offsite at the vendor's premises. The buyer evaluates responses solely for planning purposes without scoring or ranking them for contract awards. Respondents must email questions by November 16, 2026, at 5:00 PM EST, and submit RFI responses by December 15, 2026, at 5:00 PM EST to [email protected]. Submissions should include a narrative of approximately three to five pages alongside a nonbinding estimated budget and relevant curriculum materials.
