Reproductive Care Support Coordinator for homeless communities

The Hawaii State Department of Health's Maternal and Child Health Branch has issued a solicitation to select an agency or organization capable of providing clinical reproductive care support and counseling services to homeless communities on Oahu.

The contract, titled "Reproductive Care Support Coordinator for homeless communities," has a response deadline of December 6, 2024, and is valued between $500,000 and $1,500,000. It is a solicitation under NAICS code 621330, targeting organizations classified as SLED (Small Local and Emerging Business). Interested parties can contact Preetha Pant via email or phone for further details, and additional information about the solicitation is available through the Hawaii Electronic Procurement System.
