Pre-Advertisement Notice for Citywide Mobile Civilian Response & Pre-Arrest Diversion

The City of Atlanta, through its Executive Office of the Mayor, is seeking qualified organizations to deliver citywide mobile civilian response and pre-arrest diversion services under solicitation number PE-66062-NONST-2027-000000464. The goal is to establish a community-based crisis response system that reduces unnecessary law enforcement involvement by providing immediate behavioral health interventions, trauma-informed care, case management, care coordination, and outreach to individuals in crisis. Contracted providers must demonstrate proven experience managing comprehensive diversion programs, collaborating with public safety agencies and community partners, and serving diverse populations with culturally competent and equitable service delivery. The initiative aims to redirect individuals experiencing mental health, substance use, or other behavioral health emergencies toward appropriate support services rather than arrest or incarceration. Proposals are due by August 31, 2026, at 1:00 PM, following a pre-solicitation conference that will offer further details and allow potential offerors to ask questions. The contract is being issued by the City of Atlanta in Georgia, with Benjamin Lang from the agency serving as the primary point of contact for inquiries. While no specific set-aside or NAICS code is indicated, the procurement is open to organizations capable of meeting the complex operational and service requirements outlined. Interested parties are encouraged to review the official posting on the Georgia Procurement Registry to prepare their submissions effectively.
