Application

Lewis County Public Health & Social Services (LCPHSS) maintains an ongoing Request for Qualifications (RFQ) to evaluate and identify providers to be added to the Lewis County Employment and Day Services Qualified Provider List (QPL).

Applicants that qualify to be added to the QPL may be offered a contract(s) to provide certain identified services at a pre-determined cost to the County. An organization may be awarded a contract for some, but not all areas of service it included in its RFQ response if it was not determined to not be qualified in some service areas, or if one or more of those services are not eligible under funding source rules.
