Opportunity Overview
Cumberland County, New Jersey, through its Human Services Advisory Council, has opened RFP 26-44: Providing Direct, Indirect and/or Supplemental Services to Those Affected by Opioid Use for Cumberland County Residents. The County classifies the procurement under Medical/Health Care, Social Services, and Professional Services – Medical/Health Care. Funding is through the County of Cumberland Opioid Settlement Funds, Cumberland County Department of Human Services, and Opioid Advisory Council.
Deadline and Procurement Schedule
Sealed proposals are due October 16, 2026 at 11:00 a.m. prevailing time at the Cumberland County Finance Department, Purchasing Division, 164 West Broad Street, Bridgeton, New Jersey 08302. A non-mandatory pre-proposal conference is scheduled for September 30, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. at the same County Administration Building. The procurement portal lists a performance period of November 1, 2026 through October 31, 2027.
Funding and Scope
The County public notice states that the program is funded through Cumberland County opioid-settlement resources. The publicly accessible notice and portal page do not state a total funding ceiling, maximum award, or detailed service-line allocation. Atlas will not infer those values. The full specification package is available through the County purchasing portal, which currently requires vendor registration/login to download.
The verified public scope is the provision of direct, indirect and/or supplemental services to Cumberland County residents affected by opioid use. The County procurement portal categorizes the opportunity as Medical/Health Care, Social Services, and Professional Services – Medical/Health Care.
Submission and Compliance
The public notice requires sealed RFP responses and cites New Jersey affirmative-action and corporate-disclosure requirements. Respondents should obtain and review the complete specification package from the Cumberland County procurement portal before relying on any eligibility, insurance, credentialing, program-design, budget, reporting, or attachment requirement.
Atlas Analysis
Atlas Opportunity Score: 91/100. This is a high-relevance New Jersey behavioral-health and substance-use procurement because it directly funds services for residents affected by opioid use and is supported by dedicated opioid-settlement resources.
N9+ Solution/Partner Fit: 20/100. Dr. Miltie Direct Vendor Fit: 0/100. QC Healthcare Fit: 65/100, preliminary. The public notice does not establish telehealth, device, equipment, or N9+ allowability, so no N9+ budget role should be assumed. A direct Dr. Miltie submission is not established from the public record. QC Healthcare may have a service-delivery or staffing fit depending on the full specification, but that must be verified against the actual RFP before any direct-vendor or subcontractor path is pursued.
Next Action
Qualified Cumberland County-area behavioral-health, substance-use, recovery, harm-reduction, treatment, and community-service providers should obtain the complete RFP package, verify exact eligibility and service requirements, assess the September 30 pre-proposal conference, and prepare a compliant sealed response before the October 16 deadline.
