Community Based Peer Support Services

The contract titled Community Based Peer Support Services intends to deliver mental health prevention, treatment, and recovery services in areas officially recognized by the Health Resources and Services Administration as having a shortage of mental health providers. At least 60 percent of the clients served must be engaged in prevention, treatment, or recovery programs, ensuring the focus remains on addressing critical gaps in mental health access. Services are to be provided throughout the state of Utah, with no specific city designated for performance, allowing flexibility to reach underserved regions across the state. The initiative is managed by the Utah agency, with Patrick Floor listed as the primary point of contact for inquiries. The solicitation was posted on July 13, 2026, and responses are due by August 3, 2026, giving interested parties less than a month to prepare and submit proposals. The opportunity is open under a general solicitation with no specified set-aside or NAICS code, indicating broad eligibility for organizations capable of delivering community-based peer support services. All information and submissions must be made through the Utah BonfireHub portal, and there are no details provided regarding funding amount, contract duration, or performance metrics beyond the client service requirements. Applicants must demonstrate the capacity to operate in identified shortage areas and align services with the state’s goals for expanding peer-led mental health outreach.
