Partnerships for Families Services Request for Proposals #25-0047

The County of Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services is soliciting proposals under RFP 25-0047 for Partnerships for Families (PFF) services. These short-term, family-centered interventions aim to reduce child abuse and neglect through case management, crisis intervention, and the strengthening of family protective factors. A total of ten contracts will be awarded: one for each of the seven Service Planning Areas and two countywide contracts specifically for the Asian Pacific Islander and American Indian and Alaskan Native communities. The initial contract term is one year, starting no earlier than January 1, 2028, with the County holding the option to extend the term for up to four additional years and six months. The procurement utilizes a firm and fixed pricing model with a base rate of 564 dollars per visit for in-home visitation and case management. Evaluation is heavily weighted toward the business proposal, which accounts for 80 percent of the total score, focusing on the proposer's qualifications, experience with target populations, and the ability to implement a strength-based approach. Awardees must adhere to strict quality standards, including specific caseload limits of 12 to 16 families, the use of Master's degree home visitors, and the implementation of reflective supervision. Proposals must be submitted via email in PDF format by 12:00 PM PST on December 18, 2026. Submissions must include a business proposal, three years of financial statements, corporate documents, and a cost proposal, following strict electronic naming conventions. Contractors are required to maintain financial records according to generally accepted accounting principles, with indirect costs capped at 10 percent of expenditures. Additionally, providers must comply with Cal OSHA safety regulations and maintain active registration in the System for Award Management if receiving federal funds.
