RFI 26-007 - Early Intervention / Infant Learning Program Statewide Equite Project: Vision Consultation and Services

The State of Alaska Department of Health, Division of Senior and Disabilities Services, has issued Request for Information 26-007 to identify qualified contractors for the Early Intervention/Infant Learning Program Statewide Equity Project. The objective is to secure specialized vision services, including screenings, evaluations, interventions, and consultations for infants and toddlers from birth to age three. These services will support up to 15 regional programs across Alaska and may be delivered through telehealth or in-person visits. The state is specifically seeking Teachers of the Visually Impaired or other qualified professionals with experience in Early Intervention Part C state or regional programs. The project requires the contractor to collaborate with regional programs to ensure service delivery aligns with Individualized Family Service Plans. While this is an RFI and does not obligate the state to a contract, interested parties must provide details on their capabilities, staffing plans, estimated costs, and their ability to begin work within three months of an award. The project is slated for completion by June 30, 2027. Responses are due by June 1, 2026, and must be submitted via email to the procurement officer. All submissions are subject to the Alaska Public Records Act, though specific requests for the confidentiality of trade secrets may be considered.
