Deadline for DOH/SDS Grantee Funding Formula RFI Responses

The Alaska Department of Health (DOH), Division of Senior and Disabilities Services (SDS) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) to gather insights from qualified vendors. The primary objective is to develop a comprehensive grantee funding formula methodology. This formula is intended for use by the State in the upcoming competitive funding cycle, specifically FY29, to guide the equitable distribution of both state and federal grant funds to regional ILP grantees. The proposed funding formula will incorporate several critical factors to ensure fairness and accuracy. These considerations include actual and potential revenue sources available to programs, regional cost differences, and travel expenses. Additionally, the formula will account for population and enrollment numbers, the intensity of services provided by each region, and other relevant factors that will be determined during the development process. It is important to note that this RFI is solely for informational purposes. The State explicitly states that responses to this RFI do not confer any rights upon prospective vendors and do not obligate the State to conduct a future solicitation or to purchase any goods or services. The RFI was issued on May 11, 2026, with a response deadline of June 8, 2026, and Anneliese Zlitni is identified as the Procurement Officer. Further details are available in the document referenced as RFI 26-006 - Early Intervention - ILP Grantee Funding Formula.pdf.
