Prevention Planning Consultation ServicesThe County is seeking to implement the Family First Prevention Services Act by building a comprehensive, integrated prevention system that shifts focus from foster care placement to early, evidence-based services for children at risk and their families, including pregnant and parenting foster youth and kin caregivers. This initiative aims to expand the use of Title IV-E funding to support voluntary, preventive interventions that strengthen family stability and reduce reliance on foster care, requiring alignment with federal guidelines and California Department of Social Services requirements. The County is developing standardized processes for identifying eligible families, determining candidacy for services, documenting interventions, and claiming federal reimbursement, while also integrating existing programs with new requirements under CWS-CARES and braided funding strategies to maximize available resources. A key component includes designing Community Pathways that ensure equitable, accessible entry points to services and fostering collaboration among county departments and community providers. To support this complex transition, the County is contracting for expert technical consultation to guide the design and implementation of operational frameworks, including referral and intake systems, fiscal claiming methodologies, quality improvement structures, workforce development plans, and policy documentation. The consultant will provide strategic advice on compliance with evolving federal and state mandates, assist in building sustainable systems for long-term administration, and help ensure fidelity to evidence-based models. While the County retains full authority over policy and operational decisions, the consultant’s role is critical in bridging gaps in expertise, facilitating stakeholder engagement, developing tools and training resources, and aligning local efforts with statewide initiatives. The project is time-bound, with a specified proposal deadline, and seeks a qualified provider with deep knowledge of California’s child welfare infrastructure, Title IV-E Prevention requirements, and practical experience in implementing prevention systems at the county level.

Subcontracting Plan Development and Small Business OutreachThe contract requires the development and execution of a comprehensive subcontracting plan aimed at achieving small business participation goals as mandated by the Small Business Administration. This includes targeted outreach and engagement with Women-Owned Small Businesses, Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses, HUBZone firms, and other Small Disadvantaged Businesses to ensure meaningful involvement in the project. The effort must align with the Total Small Business Set-Aside classification under FAR 19.5, which reserves the entire contract for small business concerns, and is tied to the NAICS code 541611, indicating the work involves management consulting services. The plan must outline specific strategies, measurable targets, and methods for identifying, connecting with, and awarding subcontracting opportunities to eligible small businesses across the nation. The solicitation, issued by the Strategic Acquisition Program Directorate within the Department of Defense, is open for responses until August 21, 2026, with proposals due by 5:00 PM Eastern Time. All work under this contract will be performed in accordance with federal subcontracting regulations, with the successful contractor expected to demonstrate not only compliance but also proactive and documented efforts to foster small business growth and inclusion. The absence of specific geographic performance location details suggests that the subcontracting activities may be nationwide, requiring a national network of small business partners and robust tracking mechanisms to verify participation and report outcomes to federal oversight entities.
