Abstract
The Substance Abuse and Men‐tal Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has expanded its long‐standing partnership with ICF, a global consulting and technology services provider, with five new subcontracts to support mental health programs, including evaluation and communications support for the agency's 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. The agreements have a combined value of $24 million, an ICF news release stated. “These new agreements expand our long‐standing partnership with SAMHSA to help the agency better evaluate the impact of and raise awareness for mental health programs that change and save lives,” said Jennifer Welham, ICF senior vice president for health, people and human services. For three of the five service agreements, ICF will deliver a variety of behavioral health and technology‐based support services, totaling $16.1 million. Each has a term of five years, including a one‐year base and four one‐year options. Services will help address the nation's suicide crisis and include communications and data visualization support for the 988 Lifeline program (which was awarded in the second quarter of 2023) and the evaluation of the Zero Suicide Program, including building a large cloud‐based data collection and reporting system for both on Amazon Web Services.
