Breastfeeding Support Services
County of Sacramento - First 5 Sacramento Sacramento, CA
- Status Closes in 24 days
- Amount Amount not listed
- Set-aside None (open competition)
Scope
Breastfeeding yields many positive health benefits to infants and mothers. The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends exclusive breastfeeding for the first 6 months, followed by the introduction of solid foods and continued breastfeeding until two years or more as mutually desired by parent and baby. However, the data shows that while many parents wish to breastfeed, many discontinue breastfeeding in the early weeks and months after birth due to lack of support, challenges with breastfeeding, and the reality of returning to work or school. Given the importance of breastfeeding, the intent of this funding opportunity is to support an effective program that will: support new parents with the initiation and continuation of exclusive breastfeeding through at least six months, and preferably one year after birth; and work to reduce racial disparities in breastfeeding rates. The Commission is seeking an organization that has at least five years of experience providing breastfeeding support services in Sacramento County, incorporates the use of International Board Certified Lactation Consultants (IBCLCs) in advanced levels of care, and can provide the minimum services as specified in the attached Specifications Sheet, which include but are not limited to: education, support, and 1:1 consultation.

How to bid on this
This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.
- Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
- Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
- This listing has no set-aside restriction ("full and open competition"), meaning any business, large or small, can bid.
- Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
