Division of Child and Family Services

The Division of Child and Family Services within Nevada’s Department of Human Services oversees procurement activities aligned with the agency’s mission to strengthen community-based support for vulnerable families and children. As a sled (State, Local, and Tribal) entity, it manages acquisitions focused on behavioral health services, trauma-informed care, and administrative modernization initiatives. This unit is responsible for soliciting and awarding contracts that enhance case management systems, expand access to mental health practitioners, and support public information networks such as Nevada 211. Its procurement strategy prioritizes services that improve outcomes for at-risk populations through evidence-based, culturally responsive interventions. While no specific contractor relationships are currently documented, the Division routinely engages with vendors providing administrative management consulting, mental health practitioner services, and ambulatory health care support. Partnerships typically involve firms offering technical assistance in system modernization, behavioral health program implementation, and family services delivery. The Division favors contractors with demonstrated experience in public sector human services, particularly those capable of integrating trauma-informed practices and interoperable data systems into their service models. The Division does not utilize any socioeconomic set-asides, with 100% of its acquisitions competed without restrictions under 8(a), HUBZone, or SDVOSB programs. This reflects a strategic emphasis on open competition to ensure broad access to qualified providers, rather than targeted socioeconomic preferences. While small business participation is not formally incentivized, vendors of all sizes are evaluated on technical capability, compliance with state standards, and alignment with mission-critical outcomes. Primary procurement activity centers on NAICS codes 541611 (management consulting), 621330 (mental health practitioner offices), 621999 (miscellaneous ambulatory services), 624190 (individual and family services), and 541519 (other computer-related services). These reflect a technical domain focused on behavioral health delivery, case management system upgrades, and digital infrastructure to support service coordination across Nevada’s human services ecosystem.
