Youth Dance Program (statewide youth‑dance & self‑agency programs in public schools)

The New Mexico Department of Health is seeking qualified contractors to deliver a statewide youth‑dance program in public schools that combines dance instruction, nutrition education, teacher training, and robust program evaluation. Two tracks are required: one focused on low‑income, at‑risk youth and another emphasizing self‑agency development. The work must be culturally responsive, serve diverse student populations, and be delivered across the entire state. Contractors will submit separate technical and cost proposals; multiple awards may be made. • Provide inclusive, culturally‑responsive dance instruction and nutrition education for K‑12 students. • Conduct teacher trainings in each district and provide mixed‑methods evaluation reports (quantitative & qualitative). • Demonstrate statewide delivery capacity, financial stability, and compliance with NM procurement rules (no subcontractors unless approved, health‑insurance requirement if contract > $250 k).
