Opportunity Overview
Sullivan County, New York has issued RFP R-26-36 — Behavioral Services for Sullivan County Department of Community Services. The controlling public County Purchasing notice is dated August 28, 2026 and states that proposals will be received until 1:00 PM on Friday, September 18, 2026 at the Sullivan County Government Center, 100 North Street, Monticello, New York 12701.
Deadline and Source Control
The public notice gives a deadline of September 18, 2026 at 1:00 PM but does not state a time zone. Atlas therefore does not infer one. Sullivan County directs interested firms to obtain the specifications from the Director of Purchasing and Central Services / purchasing@sullivanny.gov. Until those specifications are obtained, the contract value, detailed service scope, geographic coverage, clinician or organizational qualifications, insurance and malpractice requirements, pricing structure, required forms, evaluation criteria, subcontracting rules, and exact submission mechanics are not verified.
Eligibility and Direct-Vendor Assessment
The public notice does not state bidder eligibility beyond soliciting proposals for behavioral services. A realistic respondent profile would be a qualified behavioral-health provider or professional-services organization able to satisfy the County’s detailed specifications once obtained. QC Healthcare direct-vendor fit is conditional and not yet established because the controlling specifications have not been reviewed and no New York behavioral-health staffing or licensure capability has been verified for this pursuit. N9+ Fit: 0/100; the public notice does not establish a connected-exam or remote-diagnostic technology scope.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 88/100. This is a live New York county healthcare-services procurement with a near-term deadline and potential direct-services relevance, but its public notice is only a solicitation notice rather than the complete RFP package. The missing specifications materially limit fit scoring and prevent safe advancement to outreach or bid preparation.
Next Action
Obtain the complete RFP R-26-36 specifications from Sullivan County Purchasing, then verify the exact deadline time zone, contract value, mandatory qualifications, staffing/licensure requirements, insurance, pricing, required forms and attachments, submission method, evaluation criteria, amendments, and any required certifications before advancing the pursuit.
