Legal Services for Aging Adults

The contract, identified by solicitation number 26-25, is issued by Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, to enhance legal services for older adults within the county, with the goal of enabling seniors to maintain independence in their homes, improve access to a wide range of supportive services, and safeguard them from abuse, financial exploitation, neglect, and abandonment. The performance of services is confined to Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, with no specific geographic site identified beyond the county level. The solicitation is open to all eligible vendors and does not specify a set-aside for small, minority-owned, or other socioeconomically disadvantaged businesses, though proposers are required to self-certify their status as a local, small, or diverse business concern if applicable, with additional documentation required for third-party certifications. The contract is not governed by standard Federal Acquisition Regulation clauses but rather by Montgomery County-specific requirements that emphasize compliance with state ethics laws, disclosure of organizational conflicts of interest, absence of debarment or suspension, and independent price determination. Offerors must submit signed certifications regarding conflicts of interest, contingent fee arrangements, public disclosure of relationships with county officials, and non-collusion, with falsification or omissions resulting in disqualification or contract termination. The contract type and pricing structure are not disclosed, and no estimated value is provided, nor are any line items, CLINs, or cost breakdowns included in the available documentation. Proposals must be submitted electronically by the deadline of May 22, 2026, and must include all required certifications and representations as outlined in the solicitation. While the specific deliverables are not itemized, performance is assessed through outcomes tied to increased access to justice, prevention of elder mistreatment, and reduced reliance on institutional care. The contracting office retains the authority to terminate for convenience or default based on noncompliance, and no designated contracting officer, COR, or COTR information is provided. No invoicing, payment, or accounting details are included, and there are no specifications for physical delivery, packaging, or inspection criteria, as the service is inherently administrative and consultative. The entire process emphasizes transparency, integrity, and alignment with Montgomery County’s public policy objectives for senior advocacy and protection.
