Recreational and Social Events for the Department of Mental Health

The Rockland County Department of Mental Health is seeking proposals from qualified agencies to organize and facilitate at least ten inclusive social and recreational events annually for adults with Intellectual and/or Developmental Disabilities. The goal is to promote community engagement and enhance social opportunities for this population. Interested vendors must obtain the official solicitation documents exclusively through the Bonfire system, as copies from other sources are not considered official. The deadline for proposal submissions is December 5, 2024, at 3:00 PM, with a pre-proposal meeting scheduled via MS Teams on November 14, 2024, at 11:00 AM. The contract is initially for one year, with the possibility of four additional one-year extensions, and the project will be conducted across various locations within New York State. The contract value ranges from $50,000 to $200,000, and the procurement is open to all qualified entities, with no set-aside for service-disabled veteran-owned businesses. The project aims to foster community inclusion for adults with disabilities through well-organized events, with the Department of Mental Health overseeing the initiative. For further details or questions, vendors can contact Paul Brennan, the Director of Purchasing, via email or phone. The solicitation is part of a broader effort to support community-based services for individuals with disabilities across New York State.
