DC Quit Now (Tobacco)

The District of Columbia Department of Health is forecasted to procure services for a program called DC Quit Now, designed to deliver free, phone-based live cessation support to residents seeking to quit tobacco use. This initiative will combine compassionate, real-time counseling with the provision of Nicotine Replacement Therapy at no cost to participants, ensuring equitable access to evidence-based resources for tobacco cessation across the community. The program aims to reduce tobacco-related illness and mortality by removing financial and logistical barriers to support. The contract opportunity is posted under the Health agency with the District of Columbia as the performing organization, and while specific details such as NAICS code, set-aside type, and point of contact are not provided, the initiative is focused exclusively on serving District residents. The forecast was published on July 23, 2026, and the program is expected to operate through a dedicated hotline and coordinated delivery of therapeutic aids, reflecting a public health commitment to tobacco control and wellness promotion within the district.
