Organization Overview

The National Association of Community Health Centers (NACHC) is a national organization that supports

federally qualified health centers and federally qualified health center look-alike organizations (also known as

FQHCs or Community Health Centers), expanding healthcare services for the medically underserved and

uninsured. Founded in 1971 to promote efficient, high-quality, comprehensive healthcare that is accessible,

community-directed, and patient-centered for all, NACHC’s mission and strategic framework continue to guide

our values and priorities as an organization representing the national health center movement.

Background

NACHC’s Training and Technical Assistance (TTA) Service Line supports existing and potential health centers in

addressing operational demands while maintaining their mission of ensuring access to care, community

governance, and service to care for all populations. With a diverse cadre of subject matter experts, professional

service providers and delivery methods, NACHC’s TTA services are highly utilized and must remain well-prepared

to respond to emerging health care delivery issues. Effective project management and meeting facilitation

expertise are critical to ensuring the timely, coordinated, and high-quality execution of these efforts.

Time Period

The time period for services is estimated to be January 2, 2026, through June 30, 2026. Specific projects and

tasks are anticipated during this timeframe which will need the services advertised in this RFP. Successful

applicants will be contacted for availability and a more targeted project proposal during the period of

performance if/when a specific service is needed. Vendors must have a flexible schedule to accommodate a

possible emerging need during the period of performance.

Vendor(s) may be retained for future service, based upon successful performance on these advertised services

and availability of future funds.

Budget The budget for services under this Request for Proposals (RFP) will vary based on the number, scope,

and complexity of projects assigned. While total compensation is anticipated to exceed $10,000, the final amount

will be determined based on negotiated task orders or project assignments issued under the resulting agreement.

NACHC anticipates establishing one or more vendor agreements through this RFP. Selected vendors will be

engaged on an as-needed basis to provide project management, meeting facilitation, and subject matter

expertise aligned with NACHC’s Training and Technical Assistance (TTA) priorities. Each engagement will be

defined by an approved scope of work, timeline, and budget mutually agreed upon in advance.

RFP Services Desired

Through this RFP, NACHC is seeking qualified vendors with subject matter expertise in the Health Center Program

and specific skills in project management and group facilitation. A vendor may apply for one or more area. The

vendor's active engagement with internal and external partners will be a key aspect of their role, as they develop

project plans, materials, and/or resources and ensure alignment with NACHC's TTA priorities.

Scope of Work

Selected vendors will have knowledge of the Health Center Program or other federally funded public health

programs, and/or direct experience working with Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs) or FQHC Look-

Alikes. Regardless of selected area, vendors will be expected to engage effectively with internal and external

partners including Primary Care Associations (PCAs), Health Center Controlled Networks (HCCNs), National

Training and Technical Assistance Partners (NTTAPs), and other stakeholders. Specific professional services

sought through this RFP include:

Project Management

• Provide structured project planning, implementation, and tracking support.

• Monitor timelines, deliverables, and milestones to ensure alignment with organizational and funder

requirements.

• Develop project reports, status updates, and related documentation.

Meeting and Group Facilitation

• Design and facilitate virtual and/or in-person meetings, trainings, and stakeholder engagements.

• Support consensus-building and decision-making among diverse participants.

• Prepare facilitation materials, agendas, and follow-up documentation. 

The vendor will work closely with a designated NACHC staff member on one or multiple projects that may vary in

complexity, execution processes, and methodologies. Ongoing feedback will be an integral part of the process,

promoting continuous improvement and ensuring alignment with NACHC’s TTA priorities.

Information Requested

Proposals must be submitted using NACHC’s web-based portal. Incomplete proposals will not be considered. If

NACHC selects your proposal, you will be notified on or around December 23, 2025.
