Notice Details

This is a preliminary survey to ascertain your firm’s interest in performing Staff Augmentation/Contingent Staffing services for the SCA. Our goal with this latest outreach is to determine our ability to enter into direct contract with more firms, reducing our need for the sub-consultant relationship. We are hopeful that this direct contract relationship will give us an opportunity to meet our MWBE goals at the prime level rather than relying on the sub-consultant percentage achievement. We are excited for this potential opportunity and hope to receive responses from enthusiastic partners as well! Interested firms should respond by submitting all requested information and a completed Attachment A no later than 2:00 pm on September 9, 2022.

Responses must be submitted as a single PDF file via e-mail to Roxane Pacheco at rpacheco@nycsca.org AND rfp@nycsca.org. Proposers are responsible for the timely submittal of their response and must comply with all provisions set forth herein. The SCA shall not be held liable for any pre-award activity or costs incurred by your firm for preparation and delivery of its response, negotiating a fee, producing materials, or any labor, in connection therewith. All questions shall be emailed to Ms. Pacheco no later than September 2, 2022. Although proposing firms need not be pre-qualified by the SCA at the time of proposal, each firm must be pre-qualified prior to contract award. The SCA is not making any commitment as a result of this preliminary survey.

In addition to a completed Attachment A, please provide a detailed response to the following questions in your submittal:

1. Summary of the functional capabilities of your firm, including your firm’s size both in staff and number of placements (annually) and any other services your firm provides (including services ancillary to placing staff).

2. Provide two (2) references from past or present clients (with at least one being within the last year) for which you have provided Staff Augmentation (collection and distribution of resumes) services. Include background information, contact person, and telephone number.

3. Describe any government agency your firm has had as a client.

4. Describe your experience working with or as a Minority owned, Women owned or local New York City enterprises to deliver your product or services.

5. Describe steps taken to place staff (such as trainings, searches, preliminary interview(s), background checks, etc.).

6. Describe the typical benefits package offered to placed staff. This should include paid time off, holidays, medical coverage, etc. Current benefit packages are of particular interest to the SCA and we are eager to partner with firms that offer solid benefits to their employees.

7. For 2019, 2020 and 2021, provide your (1) net income, (2) direct costs or cost of revenue, (3) cost of goods sold and (4) total deductions. The SCA will be hosting a Town Hall (likely via Teams) for all interested and qualified respondents. We will discuss the current staffing environment as well as provide an overview of typical Staffing Firm benefit packages that have been implemented by successful SCA counterparts. More information about this event will be shared in coming weeks.
