The District of Columbia's Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services (DYRS) has issued a Request for Information (RFI), solicitation number Doc854530, to conduct market research for the provision of comprehensive, year-round education and youth development programming. The scope of work involves delivering core academic instruction, special education services, vocational training, and transition planning for approximately 100 justice-involved youth at the Youth Services Center (YSC) and NBYDC secure facilities. Key operational requirements include maintaining a 2:10 staff-to-student ratio and establishing an Alternative Study Center (ASC) for intensive academic intervention or in-school suspensions. The program must operate Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and Saturdays from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The provider must ensure strict compliance with federal laws, including the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), Section 504 of the Vocational Rehabilitation Act, HIPAA, and FERPA. Performance will be monitored through a required quality assurance plan and an accountability plan aligned with the DCPS State Accountability Plan, utilizing student performance rubrics to track outcomes. Administrative requirements include electronic monthly invoicing and reconciliation due by the 5th of each month. Interested parties must submit their responses, including a company profile, organizational capability narrative, and rough order of magnitude pricing, via the District's E-Sourcing system by December 10, 2026, with questions due by December 2, 2026.
