This is a Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFSQ) issued by the County of Los Angeles Justice, Care and Opportunities Department (JCOD) for establishing a Justice Support Services Master Agreement (JSSMA). JCOD seeks qualified companies to provide one or more justice support services listed in Appendix E, with the goal of expanding services to vulnerable justice-impacted people and communities in alignment with the Board of Supervisors' "Care First, Jails Last" vision. The Master Agreement framework will enable JCOD to issue individual work orders to qualified vendors within specified contract limitations. The RFSQ solicits statements of qualifications from agencies that serve and/or employ justice-impacted individuals, establishing a pool of pre-qualified vendors for future engagement.

The document establishes a Master Agreement structure designed to streamline procurement of justice support services through work order issuance rather than individual competitive solicitations. Qualified respondents will be evaluated based on their experience, capacity, and qualifications to deliver services within the scope defined in Appendix E. The Master Agreement approach allows JCOD to maintain flexibility in service delivery while ensuring vendor compliance with County requirements. This procurement mechanism is intended to facilitate rapid deployment of justice support services to vulnerable populations while creating opportunities for agencies serving justice-impacted communities.
