In accordance with section 3-04 (b)(2)(i)(D) and 3-16(a)(1) of the Procurement Policy Board Rules, the Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD) is requesting approval to procure Community Resources for Employment and Development Program (CRED) through the Negotiated Acquisition (NAQ) method. DYCD would release a competitive NAQ which could potentially lead to DYCD negotiating with those who respond and would be found viable to operate with our Workforce program and who do not currently hold a DYCD contract to expand the provider pool and capacity.
DYCD makes this request pursuant to Section 3-04(b)(2)(i)(D) as a compelling need for goods, services, construction, and/or construction-related services exists that cannot be timely met through competitive sealed bidding or competitive sealed proposals.
