County moves quickly on 2025 Attorney General opioid‑abatement RFP amid 30‑day turnaround
Summary
County staff outlined an accelerated timeline to apply for the 2025 Attorney General opioid‑abatement funds, noting changes to program eligibility and three‑year funding requirements that limit one‑ or two‑year proposals.
Oklahoma County commissioners authorized staff to move forward with the county’s 2025 opioid‑abatement grant application after staff described a tight timeline and program changes from the Attorney General’s office.
Jennifer (Accenture consultant) told the commission the AG made several changes for the 2025 round, including eligibility limited to municipalities, school districts (including technology center districts) and public trusts that are sole beneficiaries for a city, school or county. The AG’s priority strategies listed for this round include medication‑assisted treatment for opioid use disorder, contingency management, recovery housing, employment supports and naloxone distribution.
Jennifer said applicants must request funds for service across a three‑year period; one‑ or two‑year requests do not qualify. The AG is awarding up to $900,000 per applicant (distributed as $300,000 per year). She said the AG had $29 million available for the round and the county adjusted its local RFP timeline to allow proposals to be opened and scored before the county’s selection on the 19th.
Staff described a compressed timeline: proposals due the day after the county meeting, the AG portal open for 30 days from the 12th, county selection to be made on the 19th, a county MOU to be prepared with the selected service provider, and a county submission deadline to the AG by June 11. The AG’s subcommittee will review applications starting June 12, with in‑person meetings in July and award recommendations by July 31, according to staff.
A motion to receive the packet for the RFP and proceed with county application steps carried on a voice vote. Commissioners and staff discussed the need for rapid reading and scoring of proposals given the short turnaround.
