Notice Details

This is a Negotiated Acquisition Extension with Vendor YMS Management Associates, Inc. (YMS) for Accounts Maintenance Services with the Office of Child Support Services (OCSS). The original contract ran from May 1, 2015 - April 30, 2018. Then in 2018 we exercised a renewable contract option clause for an additional three (3) year period, May 1, 2018 - April 30, 2021. In 2020, due to the pandemic, we were not able to finalize a new RFP, so we requested a one (1) year contract extension, May 1, 2021 - April 30, 2022. Unfortunately, the RFP has not been finalized and we cannot have a break in service when the extension ends on April 30, 2022. Therefore, we are requesting this Negotiated Acquisition Extension, for eight (8) months, May 1, 2022 - April 30, 2023, to ensure that there is no break in service. YMS enters all child support orders, updates and modifications into OCSS' child support database systems, This information is time sensitive and OCSS staff is not able to process the large volume of cases in a timely manner. Therefore, this service is critical to our daily operations and a disruption would be detrimental to the clients and children we serve.
