, this RFP seeks providers with a track record in delivering HIV-related primary care, medications, and supportive services. It includes funding from both federal sources, the Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) Part A and the Minority AIDS Initiative (MAI), as well as City general funds.

With an intent-to-apply deadline set for Thursday, November 21, and the proposal due date following closely on Friday, December 6, 2024, organizations are prompted to register as a City of Austin vendor and in the PartnerGrants database to participate. The technical snafu, interested parties might experience, questions regarding the RFP can be submitted until Tuesday, November 26 – giving ample time to seek clarification before final submissions.

The anticipated kickoff for contracts funded by Ryan White Part A and MAI is March 1, 2025, and those supported by City general funds are expected to begin on April 1, 2025. As is the practice, Helen Howell, the Social Services Funding Specialist Senior, has been designated as the Authorized Contact Person for all communication regarding this RFP. Applications, which contain essential documents such as the Offer Sheet and RFP Proposal, along with other necessary forms, have been made available simultaneously on the PartnerGrants system and the solicitation website.

Applicants are bound to go through several steps before their proposal can reach the assessment stage. After registering as a city vendor, they must complete an Annual Agency Threshold Application, valid for a year, and an Intent to Apply form for each proposal. For firms that while planning, registration is typically a matter of two business days, ensuring proposers are on track to meet solicitation deadlines.
