Enhancement of Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Part C Early Intervention Services (EIS) and D Women, Infant, Children, and Youth (WICY) Allocation Methodology Tools

The Health Resources and Services Administration is preparing to enhance the allocation methodology tools used for the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program’s Part C Early Intervention Services and Part D Women, Infant, Children, and Youth services. This effort aims to improve the accuracy and fairness of funding distribution by refining the data-driven models that determine resource allocation across jurisdictions, ensuring that areas with higher need receive appropriate support. The work involves updating existing algorithms, incorporating current epidemiological and demographic data, and developing user-friendly tools that state and local grantees can utilize to better plan and implement services for underserved populations affected by HIV/AIDS. The project is focused on strengthening the operational infrastructure supporting service delivery to vulnerable populations, particularly women, infants, children, and youth, by aligning funding mechanisms with evolving public health trends. The contracting activity is classified under NAICS code 541611, indicating it involves administrative management and general management consulting services, and is being managed by the HRSA office. Gail Glasser is listed as the program point of contact for technical inquiries, while Russell Grabill serves as the contracting officer responsible for procurement processes. The forecast was posted in May 2026, and responses are expected to come from firms capable of providing advanced analytics and public health system optimization expertise.
