TACIT Request for Proposals 2025
RFP #53660, issued in April 2025, sought proposals across multiple service categories under the Community Development Grant Application (CDGA) for Technical Assistance Citywide (TACIT). No responses were received for the Climate Change, Environmental Justice, and Housing category. As a result, this new RFP is being released to solicit proposals specifically for that category. Prior respondents and awardees are eligible to apply.
Applications must be submitted via eProcurement online. Paper applications will not be accepted.
Key Dates:

Evaluation Criteria
All proposals submitted through the City’s iSupplier Portal by the deadline will undergo a technical review. Only complete applications will be considered; incomplete ones will receive a formal rejection. DOH may waive minor errors that don't affect quality or compliance (e.g., typos).
DOH also reserves the right to disqualify applicants with poor past performance. An Evaluation Committee comprising DOH staff and external reviewers will score proposals based on the following criteria (totaling 100 points):
- Strength of Proposed Program (25)
- Organizational Capacity (25)
- Program Quality and Impact (20)
- Reasonable Cost, Budget Justification, and Leverage of Funds (20)
- Overall Response (10)
Final recommendations will be made by DOH leadership and reviewed by the Commissioner, who may approve or reject agencies based on alignment with DOH goals and past performance.
