A competitive process for procuring services from CBOs is incompatible with the time sensitive nature of this one-time budget. Given this constraint, ACS seeks to enter into contracts quickly pursuant to Section 3-04(b)(2)(i)(D) of the (PPB) rules such that CBO programs can start issuing child care subsidies to families with eligible children by January 2023. Each day that passes to retain a select cohort of qualified community-based organizations (CBO) to administer funds to families is one less day a family can benefit from this child care assistance prior to the end of funding on June 30, 2023. Additionally, there are a limited number of CBOs with demonstrated operational/administrative capacity and a history running programs targeting this population, especially within the specific neighborhoods identified as having the highest populations of undocumented children. Given this, ACS also makes this request pursuant to Section 3-04(b)(2)(ii) of the PPB rules.
Description
The Administration for Children's Services (ACS) intends to enter into a negotiated acquisition contract with The Chinese American Planning Council for the provision of Childcare Assistance Services for Immigrant Families. ACS selected the negotiated acquisition procurement method pursuant to the Procurement Policy Board Rules, Sections 3-04(b)(2)(i)(D) and 3-04(b)(2)(ii). A competitive process for procuring services is incompatible with the time sensitive nature of this one-time funding and there are a limited number of vendors with demonstrated operational/administrative capacity and history running programs targeting this population.
