Stakeholder Engagement & Community Outreach

The contract seeks a subcontractor to design and implement comprehensive outreach strategies targeting early childhood providers, families, and community organizations, using methods such as focus groups, surveys, and feedback sessions to gather insights and foster engagement. The work is aligned with the mission of the Colorado Department of Early Childhood and requires a deep understanding of community dynamics, stakeholder communication, and culturally responsive engagement practices to ensure broad and equitable participation. The goal is to inform program development and policy decisions through direct input from those most affected by early childhood services. The opportunity is open as a subcontract under NAICS code 541930 and has a very tight response window, with submissions due by August 10, 2026, just three days after the posting date of August 7, 2026. While no set-aside type or specific office address is provided, performance is expected to take place in Colorado, indicating a statewide scope of work. Interested parties must submit their proposals through the official online portal before the deadline, and the contract will likely prioritize vendors with demonstrated experience in early childhood systems, community mobilization, and qualitative data collection within public service contexts.
