Harm Reduction Navigator Stipends for Naloxone Distribution and Education about Harm Reduction and Overdose Prevention as part of the OD2A: Local Grant

This solicitation seeks a qualified vendor to hire and manage part‑time “harm‑reduction navigators” who will distribute naloxone, provide overdose‑prevention education, and conduct group training for high‑risk populations in Wichita, KS. The county will fund stipends up to $200 per navigator per month, with a maximum total grant amount of $14,110 in Year 1 and decreasing amounts in subsequent years, for a five‑year contract period. The award is open competition, but no vendors responded, leaving the opportunity unfilled. • Core duties: hire navigators (youth/lived‑experience), train them, distribute naloxone (vendor must already have supply), conduct education sessions, and report monthly data. • Funding limits: $14,110 in Year 1, then $2,400‑$7,200 in later years; payments are stipend‑only, not for naloxone purchase. • Compliance: requires extensive insurance, indemnification, quarterly coordination with the county health department, and detailed data reporting.
