Notice Details

DSS/Office of Planning and Performance Management is requesting a sole source contract with Foothold Technology, Inc. to provide HMIS data warehouse services from 1/1/2023 to 12/31/2023. This data warehouse is specifically designed to accept HUD-compliant data files from participating providers in a streamlined fashion, resulting in a comprehensive and complete data set held by the City, without the requirement that all providers use the AWARDS HMIS system directly. This Sole Source will allow time for NYC to finalize the competitive RFP process and for the selected vendor to develop a HMIS with the goal of creating a HMIS that is more inclusive and accessible to NYC’s full homeless services and housing system. Given significant delays in the competitive RFP process experienced over the last 2 years, this one year Sole Source is required to ensure continuity of service so that the NYC CoC maintains in compliance with federal reporting requirements. During this 1-year period, DSS will work with the selected vendor to design the new system and transfer existing data in Foothold’s data warehouse into the new data warehouse, allowing for a bridge between Foothold and the new selected vendor. Any firm or organization which believes they can also provide this service is invited to respond to the RFI 07123Y0041-Homeless Management Information System Sole Source" on PASSPort. If you have any questions, please email"frazierj@dss.nyc.gov" with the subject line "07123Y0041-Homeless Management Information System Sole Source".
