Head Start/Early Head Start Program Related Srvs.

Miami-Dade County's Strategic Procurement Department is seeking to extend the existing Prequalification Pool No. RTQ-00410 for the Head Start/Early Head Start Program Related Services for an additional five-year period starting April 1, 2026. The pool aims to establish a roster of pre-qualified contractors capable of delivering a broad range of services, including training, organizational analysis, museum and cultural arts services, diagnostic and therapeutic services, as well as continuing education and certification programs. These services support the Community Action and Human Services Department in fulfilling its mission to provide comprehensive early childhood programs and related support initiatives. The solicitation, identified as EVN0031102, was posted on May 27, 2025, with a response deadline of June 23, 2025, and targets vendors capable of handling projects with contract values estimated between five million and fifteen million dollars. The procurement process emphasizes qualification, with interested vendors required to submit their responses via the county’s supplier portal and contact designated officials, such as Cheryl Page, for further details. Additionally, related notices highlight the county’s ongoing efforts to maintain and expand its prequalification pools for various specialized services, such as bird control, emphasizing that inclusion in these pools signifies meeting the county’s qualification standards rather than an immediate contract award. The process facilitates streamlined procurement for multiple departments, ensuring that qualified vendors are readily available to meet the county’s diverse service needs. The overarching goal is to foster a reliable network of service providers capable of supporting Miami-Dade County’s community programs and operational requirements over an extended period, ensuring continuity and quality in service delivery.
