Title V Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP)

The Title V Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP), managed by the Orange County Office on Aging in partnership with the Board of Supervisors, seeks a subrecipient to provide countywide workforce development services for low-income adults aged 55 and older. The primary goal is to help eligible participants gain job skills and work experience to transition into unsubsidized employment, with priority given to individuals aged 65+, veterans, the homeless, and those with disabilities. Success is contingent upon strong collaboration with WIOA/AJCC partners, employers, and community organizations, and strict adherence to 20 CFR 641.500, the Older Americans Act of 1965, and the CDA Program Guide. The solicitation, RFP No: 012-3116505-DL, requires a points-based proposal evaluated on prior performance, administrative capacity, and proposed strategies. Applicants must submit a proposal not exceeding 35 pages in 12 pt Arial font, double-spaced, via the eProcurement Portal by December 8, 2026. Key requirements include the appointment of a Project Manager, maintenance of detailed case files, and compliance with various civil rights and non-discrimination laws. Administrative obligations include submitting monthly invoices with wet signatures to the OC Community Resources Accounting Office by the 15th of each month and providing a valid Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) and D-U-N-S number. Performance monitoring occurs at least once per program year, and specific deliverables include an Emergency Operations Plan due July 1, 2027, and a Master Salary Spreadsheet due August 15, 2027.
