Fairfax Opioid Abatement and Recovery (FOAR) Funding

The County of Fairfax, Virginia, is soliciting proposals through a competitive negotiation process to establish contracts for opioid abatement and recovery programs under the Fairfax Opioid Abatement and Recovery (FOAR) Funding initiative, identified by solicitation number 2000004303. The solicitation, issued on July 21, 2026, with a response deadline of August 28, 2026, seeks service providers capable of delivering comprehensive, outcome-driven programs aligned with federal, state, and local regulatory standards, including OSHA, HIPAA, and 42 CFR Part 2. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the Bonfire portal, and failure to comply with submission protocols—including missing required documentation or late submission—will result in disqualification. The contract anticipated annual funding ranges from $100,000 to $300,000 per award, with a potential five-year term inclusive of three one-year options, for a total estimated value up to $1.5 million. Evaluation is structured around a trade-off approach, prioritizing non-price factors: proposed program scope and statement of needs (35 points), organizational capacity (25 points), timeline and performance measures (20 points), and financial strategy/cost proposal (20 points), underscoring a best-value selection over lowest price technically acceptable. Contractors must adhere to strict compliance and administrative requirements, including maintaining a conflict of interest policy compliant with Virginia law, carrying insurance with a minimum A.M. Best rating of A:VII and naming Loudoun County as a primary insured with waiver of subrogation rights, and implementing a drug-free workplace policy for subcontractors receiving over $10,000 in awards. Proposals must include a unique entity identifier (UEI) from SAM.gov and may trigger additional reporting if lobbying activities involve non-federal funds. Data security mandates include reporting breaches within three days and ensuring nonvisual access compliance. Invoicing must be itemized and monthly, submitted to the specified address, and subject to annual appropriations by the Board of Supervisors, meaning payment is contingent on funding availability. Delivery is F.O.B. destination, with inspection and acceptance occurring at the County-designated delivery point. Packaging must meet commercial standards, include required documentation such as packing slips listing purchase order numbers and quantities, and all shipping containers become County property unless otherwise specified. The Purchasing Agent holds full contractual authority, including termination rights for convenience or cause, contract
