Ohio Works First (OWF) and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Employment and Training (SNAP E&T) Services

The Montgomery County Department of Job and Family Services is soliciting proposals for the administration and delivery of employment and training services under two distinct programs: Ohio Works First (OWF) and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program Employment and Training (SNAP E&T). The OWF program aims to support approximately 500 participants in overcoming employment barriers and achieving self-sufficiency, while the SNAP E&T program is designed to provide case management, education, and work-based learning to approximately 2,200 annual participants. Key deliverables include comprehensive assessments, the development of individualized employability plans, and the management of Work Experience Program placements. The initial contract term is scheduled from January 1, 2027, through December 31, 2027, with the possibility of two optional extension terms based on performance and funding. While a sample agreement mentions an annual cost limit of 500,000 dollars, final pricing will be determined by the selected proposer's quoted unit rates. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the OpenGov Procurement portal by October 7, 2026, at 1:30 pm. Awardees must comply with extensive federal and state regulations, including HIPAA, the Americans with Disabilities Act, and various civil rights mandates. Contractors are required to provide detailed budget worksheets and resumes for key personnel, and any subcontracting requires express written consent from the agency.
