Intent to Award

PIN#06924N0008 Due:

Pursuant to §3-04(b)(2)(i)(D) of the Procurement Policy Board Rules, there is a compelling need for these services that cannot be timely met through competitive methods. This Negotiated Acquisition (NA) would allow DSS to continue providing COVID testing, isolation and vaccinations for our vulnerable clients and provider staff for Fiscal Year 2024 while the Agency is working on a new RFP for these services.
Description

Pursuant to Section 3-04 of the PPB Rules, Department of Social Services is entering into a Negotiated Acquisition (NA) contract with Housing Works to provide timely COVID testing, isolation and vaccination services for DSS shelter clients and for provider staff at DSS facilities for FY24 with a contract amount of $ 6,896,592.00.

Housing Works is the best candidate for this Negotiated Acquisition at this time because HRA contracted with this provider to administer COVID-19 testing and vaccinations from January 1, 2021 to June 30, 2023 to HRA shelter clients and to vulnerable individuals at HRA housing sites. This NA would essentially allow Housing Works to continue to provide this important and time-sensitive public health service and the necessary administrative support to achieve the following aims: allow rapid isolation of infected persons; link persons infected with COVID to care; decreased the risk of COVID transmission; and reduce the number of infections and deaths among DSS clients. An RFP is being developed for these services. Since the award will not be in place for July 1, 2023, this Negotiated Acquisition (NA) would allow DSS to continue providing COVID testing, isolation and vaccinations for our vulnerable clients and provider staff for Fiscal Year 2024.
