Agency Strategic Plan Development

The Calvert County Health Department has issued a solicitation for professional consultation services to develop a comprehensive five-year strategic plan for the agency. The project emphasizes stakeholder engagement through interviews, surveys, and focus groups, data analysis, and facilitation of planning sessions, culminating in the drafting and finalization of the strategic plan. Experience with Maryland local health departments and familiarity with PHAB accreditation standards are highly preferred, underscoring the importance of local public health expertise and accreditation knowledge. The contract is estimated to be valued between $50,000 and $150,000, with proposals due by July 30, 2025, and submission via email to a designated contact. A review of the contract documentation reveals that no specific FAR clauses, standard contract provisions, or referenced regulatory clauses are incorporated or referenced within the available materials. There are no attachments, exhibits, or supporting documents listed or included, nor are there any detailed packaging, labeling, or shipping requirements. Similarly, the solicitation does not specify evaluation criteria, scoring factors, or the basis for award, leaving the selection process open-ended or to be clarified later. Administrative details are minimal, with only the contact person for proposal submission identified; no payment procedures, inspection clauses, or performance milestones are explicitly outlined. The scope of work centers solely on consulting services, with no mention of deliverables beyond the strategic plan, and the performance location is within Maryland, specifically for the Calvert County Health Department. Overall, the procurement emphasizes expertise and experience in public health strategic planning, with administrative and contractual specifics remaining largely undefined in the current documentation.
