The contract opportunity, titled "Request for Information for Immigrant Resource Centers," is open to organizations with a focus on service delivery and has a project budget estimated between $500,000 and $2,000,000. Interested parties are invited to respond by October 4, 2024, with the solicitation posted on the Hawaii eHawaii portal. The project falls under NAICS code 541611, which pertains to administrative management and general management consulting services. The primary contact for this opportunity is Courtney Ho, reachable via email at [email hidden] or by phone at [phone hidden]. This initiative aims to leverage community input to effectively re-establish and operate the IRCs, ensuring they meet the needs of immigrant populations across Hawaii.
