Logic Model & Performance Evaluation Framework Design

The contract seeks to design a comprehensive logic model and performance evaluation framework that clearly connects inputs, activities, outputs, and intended outcomes to measure the effectiveness of programs administered by the Administration for Children and Families. The work involves developing a structured analytical tool to map program components and their intended impacts, ensuring alignment with organizational goals and federal reporting standards. In addition to building the logic model, the contractor will support the implementation of continuous quality improvement processes by assisting with data collection systems, defining measurable indicators, and establishing protocols for monitoring progress and adapting strategies based on evidence. The contractor will be responsible for ensuring that the performance evaluation plan is actionable, sustainable, and rooted in real-world data gathering methods that reflect program operations. This includes collaborating with program staff to identify key data sources, standardizing metrics, and facilitating the integration of feedback loops into daily workflows. The effort must support accountability and outcomes-based reporting required by the Department of Health and Human Services, with a focus on improving service delivery for children and families. Subcontractors must submit proposals by August 14, 2026, under the NAICS code 541611 for management consulting services, and the work is expected to be conducted without geographic restrictions as no specific place of performance has been designated.
