This is a Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFSQ) issued by the County of Los Angeles, Department of Public Health to establish a master agreement with qualified contractors for the provision of evaluation services. The RFSQ solicits statements of qualifications on a continuous basis, with submissions reviewed at the County's convenience. The evaluation services sought support the Department of Public Health's program assessment and performance measurement initiatives across its various public health programs and initiatives.

The County accepts SOQs continuously throughout the fiscal year rather than on a fixed deadline basis, allowing qualified firms to submit their qualifications at any time for consideration. The master agreement structure allows the County to procure evaluation services as needed without requiring individual competitive solicitations for each project. Successful contractors may be engaged for multiple evaluation projects under the master agreement, with contract terms and specific scope details negotiated on a project-by-project basis. This approach provides the County flexibility in utilizing pre-qualified evaluation consultants while allowing contractors the opportunity to demonstrate qualifications and secure ongoing business with the Department of Public Health.
