San Bernardino County Department of Behavioral Health is accepting proposals for Community-Based Recovery Service Centers, RFP DBH 26-011 (ePro solicitation DBHE26-ADMN-6399). The County seeks qualified organizations/agencies to provide Substance Use Disorder and Recovery Services (SUDRS) Community-Based Recovery Service Centers.
Funding / contract value: Recommended providers will share an annual aggregate amount not to exceed $12,028,534. The anticipated contract term is January 1, 2027 through December 31, 2031. This is an open-market service procurement rather than a grant, so grant-style matching or cost share is not applicable.
Deadline: Proposals must be received September 24, 2026 by 4:00 PM local time. The County’s ePro notice uses the words “local Time” and does not separately publish a time-zone abbreviation on the solicitation page, so Atlas does not infer one. Electronic quote submission is allowed through ePro; the notice also provides a hard-copy delivery option to DBH Administration, Contracts Unit, 550 Hospitality Lane, 1st Floor, San Bernardino, CA 92415-0026.
Procurement details: Type: Request for Proposal. Bid type: OPEN. Purchase method: Open Market. The posted solicitation package includes the final RFP, fillable forms, a Schedule A budget template, and presentation materials. Amendment 1, dated September 3, 2026, added the fillable forms, budget template, and PowerPoint. The question deadline was September 10, 2026. Offerors should review the complete current RFP package and any later amendments before submission.
Program scope: The procurement is focused on community-based substance-use-disorder recovery services and recovery-center operations. Proposer qualifications, Medi-Cal/SUDRS requirements, geographic/service requirements, staffing, insurance, certifications, and all proposal forms should be validated directly against the current RFP package before bid action.
Atlas assessment: Opportunity Score 88/100. Direct N9+/Dr. Miltie vendor fit 12/100 (low / qualification-gated). The primary procurement is for qualified SUD recovery-center operations, not remote physical-examination equipment. A telehealth or care-coordination support role could be considered only if an otherwise-qualified prime has a documented need and the RFP/subcontracting and Medi-Cal requirements permit it. Dr. Miltie should not pursue this as prime without independently verified SUDRS/Medi-Cal qualifications and required experience.
