Expanding Harm Reduction Services

The New York State Department of Health AIDS Institute is extending 14 existing contracts for a two year period from July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2028. This initiative, identified by solicitation number 2140122, focuses on providing harm reduction interventions within community settings across New York State. The funding is specifically targeted toward people who use drugs within priority populations that are historically marginalized, stigmatized by systems of care, and highly vulnerable to overdose. Due to the unique qualifications of the selected providers, this procurement is being handled as a single source exemption, meaning a competitive bidding process was deemed not feasible. The recipients of these extensions include Bronx Movil, Inc., National Harm Reduction Coalition, Justice Innovation, Inc., The Bridge, Inc., Fortune Society, Inc., Housing Works Inc., AIDS Community Resources Cayuga County, AIDS Council of Northeastern New York Inc., AIDS Center of Queens County, Inc., Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and the After Hours Project, Inc. Administration of these contracts is managed by the NYS Department of Health AIDS Institute Office of Administration and Contract Management.
