AI Contract Overview

The Administration for Children and Families, through the Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation, is seeking market intelligence via a Request for Information (RFI) to inform potential future contracting efforts for the Tribal Home Visiting Planning, Analysis, and Communication Project (THV PLACE). This RFI, issued under solicitation number HHS-ACF-RFI-2026-00032, is purely for informational and planning purposes and does not constitute a solicitation for proposals, nor does it obligate the government to initiate a procurement. The goal is to assess industry capabilities to support the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program’s objectives in American Indian and Alaska Native communities, including conducting rapid studies, performing literature reviews, synthesizing research findings, developing tribal learning agendas, and fostering research-practice partnerships. Responses must be submitted via email by the deadline of May 8, 2026, using a specified form that includes corporate overview, experience, and questionnaire sections with strict page limits, and must exclude proprietary, classified, or sensitive information. All submissions become government property, and no feedback or acknowledgment will be provided. The anticipated scope involves delivering high-quality, culturally relevant outputs that meet stringent accessibility standards under Section 508, including accessible documents, captioned videos, and compliant web tools. Contractors will be required to ensure all personnel undergo fingerprint-based background checks if they engage with vulnerable populations, comply with federal security protocols including Authority to Operate (ATO) requirements aligned with NIST standards, complete privacy and information security training, and adhere to strict travel reimbursement rules under the Federal Travel Regulation. Work will be performed at the contractor’s location, with flexibility across multiple states, and any future contract is expected to be awarded as a Time-and-Materials agreement with an estimated base performance period of five years, though options may extend beyond that within a 60-month maximum timeframe. The government will use responses to evaluate trade-offs and determine whether to issue a formal solicitation, which may be posted publicly via SAM.gov or GSA eBuy. No contract values, pricing data, or evaluation criteria are specified at this stage, and non-response does not affect future eligibility for solicited opportunities.

Full Description

Request for Information (RFI):

This is a Request for Information (RFI). This is NOT a solicitation for proposals, proposal abstracts, or quotations. The purpose of this RFI is to obtain knowledge and information for project planning purposes.

This Request for Information (RFI) is to conduct market research for the requirements of the Tribal Home Visiting Planning, Analysis, and Communication Project (THV PLACE).

Background:

The mission of the Administration for Children and Families (ACF) is to promote the economic and social well-being of children, families, and communities through federal leadership and the delivery of human services. The Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) supports this by leading rigorous research, evaluation, and data-driven activities to improve the effectiveness of ACF programs and inform national policy.

The Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) Program provides evidence-based services to improve maternal/child health and family well-being. The program supports states, jurisdictions, and tribal entities, focusing on providing culturally relevant services and expanding the evidence base within American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities. Beyond direct tribal grants, many states and territories also partner with or fund tribal organizations to serve Native families, creating a complex ecosystem of early childhood support.

The four goals of MIECHV are:

Provide high quality, culturally relevant, and evidence-based home visiting services in AI/AN communities.
Support the development of happy, healthy, and successful AI/AN children and families through those home visiting programs.
Expand the evidence base around home visiting programs in AI/AN communities.
Strengthen coordination among various programs that serve AI/AN children and families, to create more comprehensive early childhood support systems.

Purpose of this RFI:

The purpose of this RFI is to solicit input regarding industry capability as it relates to the intended scope of the project. The Administration for Children and Families’ Tribal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) project entails:

Implementing quick turnaround studies on emerging topics of interest to ACF;
Conducting focused literature reviews and environmental scans on priority topics;
Synthesizing and translating research findings for practical application and use;
Supporting the development and maintenance of Tribal early childhood learning agendas; and
Supporting research-practice partnerships to address research questions of interest to home visiting programs in Native communities.

Information Sought:

ACF/ Office of Planning, Research, and Evaluation (OPRE) intends to seek input regarding industry capabilities and experience related to MIECHV Tribal Home Visiting Planning, Analysis, and Communication.
