Description
The Mississippi Department of Human Services (MDHS) is conducting market research through this Request for Information (RFI) to identify qualified organizations that can partner in the statewide delivery of the ProFathering15 curriculum – a virtual, father‑focused program covering 15 essential topics such as co‑parenting, finances, and emotional health. MDHS seeks to understand existing capabilities, interest, and best practices among father‑serving organizations, with the eventual goal of expanding access to the curriculum at no cost to participants. Responses will be used to shape potential future procurements, but no contract is guaranteed at this stage.
• RFI purpose: gather information on organizations able to deliver or refer participants to the ProFathering15 program.
• Target organizations: those serving men/fathers (ages 16‑65) across Mississippi, with capacity for virtual delivery.
• Submission deadline: October 19 2026, 2:00 PM CT (electronic or hard‑copy).
• Required attachments: detailed questionnaire (Attachment A) and organizational information form (Attachment B).
• No cost reimbursement for response preparation; all submissions become MDHS property.
• Questions due by September 30 2026; answers posted by October 7 2026.
