Cultural Competency & Community Engagement Support

This contract seeks a qualified provider to deliver cultural consultation and family and community outreach services aimed at ensuring therapy services are deeply rooted in Navajo (Diné) values, traditions, and worldviews. The work requires a nuanced understanding of Diné cultural practices, spiritual beliefs, and community dynamics to bridge the gap between clinical mental health services and Indigenous ways of knowing, promoting trust, accessibility, and effectiveness for Navajo families. The provider must engage directly with tribal leaders, elders, families, and community organizations to co-design culturally responsive approaches that honor Diné sovereignty and enhance the cultural competence of service delivery systems. The contract is classified as a subcontract under an Indian Economic Enterprise (IEE) Set-Aside, exclusively reserved for Native-owned businesses serving the Department of the Interior and Indian Health Services. It falls under the NAICS code 611430 for other schools and instruction, reflecting its educational and advisory nature in cultural competency training and community-based outreach. The solicitation was posted on May 4, 2026, with a deadline for responses set for May 8, 2026, at 11 PM, and the performance location is within Navajo Nation territories, though specific details are not provided. All applicants must demonstrate proven experience working within Navajo communities and a clear commitment to upholding Diné cultural integrity in every aspect of service provision.
