OPWDD is issuing the attached Request for Proposals (RFP) for Family Support Services (FSS) with the intent to award several contracts for these services. Proposals are being accepted for FSS funding to provide new or enhanced programs/services to OPWDD eligible individuals who live at home with their families. The emphasis of FSS Proposals should be to increase the variety and availability of services and supports to unserved/underserved individuals and their families towards satisfying their unmet needs and offsetting some of the challenges these families may experience. 

Within submitted proposals, OPWDD seeks providers to address specific priorities (Priority Needs). The RFP Scope of Work Program Requirements is separated into subsections describing those Priority Needs by Region. In the event that a Bidder is pursuing more than one Priority Need and/or in multiple regions, the Bidder must clearly identify these areas correlating to each Priority Need and submit a separate proposal (including all attachments in the Administrative Proposal and Technical Proposal packages, and the Budget Proposal attachment) for each proposed program and/or Region.
