1073358- BAH UsCC Capacity Building Project-BLACK-LED ORG.

The BAH UsCC Capacity Building Project, solicited by the Los Angeles County Department of Internal Services for the Department of Mental Health, is a specialized initiative designed to support Black-led and Black-empowering organizations. The project focuses on the Black-Led Organizational Leadership (BLOL) Project, which requires the delivery of a two-day leadership summit centered on anti-racism, trauma-informed leadership, and mental health resilience, followed by monthly technical assistance for a cohort of 20 leaders. Key deliverables include the summit agenda, participant recruitment, the development of culturally relevant mental health resource lists, and a final summary report with policy recommendations and evaluation data to be presented to the BAH UsCC subcommittee. Performance is based in Los Angeles, California, with a strong emphasis on cultural competency and language accessibility. Due to the nature of the work, the contractor must adhere to strict HIPAA compliance and data security standards, including FIPS 140-2 and NIST encryption protocols for handling protected health information. The procurement process follows a lowest-price technically acceptable model, requiring bidders to submit comprehensive documentation via the Vendor Self Service portal, including Community Business Enterprise certifications and various compliance affidavits. Contract administration is overseen by the County's Chief Information Security Officer and the DMH Departmental Information Security Officer, with mandatory requirements for ISO 27001:2013 or HITRUST certification and strict data destruction protocols upon contract termination.
