RFI: Training & TA Contract for State Councils on Developmental Disabilities

The Administration for Community Living, within the Office of Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities, is conducting market research for a potential requirement to provide training and technical assistance to State Councils on Developmental Disabilities. This initiative supports a nationwide network of 56 councils established under the Developmental Disabilities Assistance and Bill of Rights Act of 2000. The primary objective is to deliver coordinated, national-scale support that helps these councils advance systems change, advocacy, and capacity building for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families.

The anticipated scope involves delivering performance-based assistance aligned with statutory, governance, and operational requirements. Contractor support will focus on helping councils maintain compliance with federal mandates, implement Five-Year State Plans, and demonstrate measurable outcomes in leadership, governance, and evaluation. While the requirement is currently considered non-commercial, the agency is seeking feedback on whether the services could be fulfilled through commercial means. Performance will take place in Washington, DC, and the effort is intended to enhance council dissemination, stakeholder engagement, and public awareness.
