Section I - General Information

A. Summary Program Description:

The New Jersey Department of Children and Families (DCF), Division of Family and

Community Partnerships (FCP) announces its intent to award one contract for a Nurse

Family Partnership (NFP) New Jersey program in Mercer County. DCF administers this

contract in collaboration with the New Jersey Department of Human Services (DHS),

Division of Family Development (DFD) and the New Jersey Department of Health

(DOH), Division of Family Health Services (FHS).

The NFP model is an evidence-based home visitation (EBHV) program that provides in-

home health and parenting education, and supportive services to at-risk low income,

first-time pregnant women and their families, especially those overburdened by

stressors that may contribute to child neglect and abuse. Specially trained nurse home

visitors educate families on important issues that impact on the health and well-being of

the mother/parents and infant.

B. Funding Information:

All funding is subject to appropriation. The continuation of funding is contingent upon

the availability of funds and resources in future fiscal years.

Respondents are on notice that no annual increases will be considered as part of this

contract to salaries, fringe, or benefits in future negotiations or contracts, unless

approved by the State legislature for all contracting entities. Funds awarded under this

program may not be used to supplant or duplicate existing funding.

Intended funding period: The intended funding period for the contract is twelve

months: July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. The funds available are to be budgeted

to cover the expenses incurred during the initial contract term to implement the program

and operate program services for twelve months. DCF will not reimburse expenses

incurred prior to the effective date of the contract except for approved start-up costs.

Contract renewal is contingent on the availability of funds.

Available funding: In State Fiscal Year (FY) 2027, DCF will make available $540,838

in federal Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting (MIECHV) funds, CFDA#

93.870. DCF reserves the right to award all or a portion of these funds. The available

funding is for one award in Mercer County. Available funding includes up to $509,588

for operating expenditures, and up to $31,250 for one-time start-up expenditures.

Start-up: DCF may reimburse start-up expenditures for these initial contracts.

Respondents may propose one-time start-up expenditures of up to $31,250. All start-up

costs are subject to contract negotiations and DCF approval. Funds for approved start-

up cost funds will be released upon the execution of a finalized contract and will be paid

1|Page

via Scheduled Payments. Start-up funds must be expended within the first six months

of contract execution.

Matching funds: Matching funds are not required. Responses that demonstrate the

leveraging of other financial resources are encouraged.

Proposed budgets and budget narratives: One proposed budget is required with this

Request for Proposals (RFP) response. The proposed budget will detail anticipated

expenditures from the date the contract is effective on July 1, 2026, through June 30,

2027. Award amounts may not exceed the proposed budget amounts for a budget

period.

Proposed budgets, including anticipated costs for program operations and start-up, if

applicable, must be submitted using the Proposed Budget Form for NJ DCF found at:

https://www.nj.gov/dcf/providers/contracting/forms/.

In addition to the proposed budget, your response requires a proposed budget narrative

that includes a justification and detailed summary, including basis of allocation and a

breakdown of categories, where applicable, for the costs in the proposed budget.

The proposed budget forms and the proposed budget narratives must be submitted as

documents included in “PDF 3” of your proposal. For additional information on PDF 3,

see Section III, Documents Requested to be Submitted with This Response, below.

Actual Budgets: The proposed budget submitted with a response is not the actual

budget an awarded respondent will submit for DCF approval as part of the contract. If

awarded a contract, the awarded respondent shall submit for approval its first Annex B

Budget for the period of July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027, using the more detailed

Annex B Budget Form found at:

https://www.nj.gov/dcf/documents/contract/forms/AnnexB.xls. In addition to the first 12

months of operating costs, all start-up costs also must be included in this Annex B

Budget.

The awarded respondent shall prepare and submit an annual budget each fiscal year.

DCF will issue payments to the provider on a scheduled basis up to the contract’s

approved budget amount.

Each budget will require Reports of Expenditures and be subject to the DCF contract

close out process following the end of the contract term in accordance with the DCF

Contract Close Out policy at:

https://www.nj.gov/dcf/documents/contract/manuals/CPIM_p7_closeout.pdf

DCF will compare the actual approved expenditures appearing on the final report of

expenditures and the independent audit with the total contract revenue realized through

the receipt of scheduled payments and may recoup as an overpayment the funds that

exceeded the actual allowable contract expenditures of the approved budget.
