About this file
This document is a Notice from the Washington State Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF) regarding a sole source contract opportunity to continue the development of public-facing regionalized data dashboards and reports to support the goals of the department and the Early Learning Advisory Council, pursuant to Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill No. 5237. The contract will provide services to consider and plan the transition of an existing estimator software to DCYF's possession for continued, unfettered use in early learning. Washington STEM, a statewide, independent nonprofit organization, is the identified contractor due to its expertise in developing this specific dashboard and its legislative intent as the vendor contemplated in SB 5187 Sec. 230 (21). The contract term is approximately 2.5 years, with the possibility of two additional one-year extensions at DCYF's sole option. The estimated contract value is $150,000.00, and DCYF has determined that each optional extension would result in equal or slightly higher consideration.
Offerors must submit capability statements detailing their ability to meet the state's requirements by November 1, 2024. The capability statements should demonstrate the offeror's history of designing, developing, publishing, and maintaining public-facing data in a consumer-friendly format, including updates on program supply and demand for subsidized child care and preschool programs. In the absence of other qualified sources, DCYF intends to make a sole source award.

STATE OF WASHINGTON
DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN, YOUTH, AND FAMILIES
The Department of Children, Youth, and Families contemplates awarding a sole source contract to The Washington STEM Center DBA Washington STEM to continue development of public-facing regionalized data dashboards and reports to support the goals of the department and the early learning advisory council, pursuant to Engrossed Second Substitute Senate Bill No. 5237 (child care & early learning). Additionally, this contract will provide services to consider and plan out the transition of an existing estimator software to DCYF's possession for continued, unfettered use in early learning.
Washington STEM is a statewide, independent nonprofit organization founded on the principles of equity, partnership, and sustainability. Contractor acts as an intermediary to convene, provide data support, tell stories, and scale promising practices to close pervasive equity gaps across the state.
Washington STEM is the appropriate choice to develop this specific dashboard of Early Start Act Supplemental Metrics, and is the vendor who was contemplated in the legislative intent of SB 5187 Sec. 230 (21). The ultimate goals and intentions of DCYF are singularly facilitated by Washington STEM in continuing the completion of specific, time-sensitive requirements.
Washington STEM has already been developing the above goals under a no payment Memorandum of Understanding executed December 2020.
The contract will be issued on or about November 8, 2024. The dollar value is estimated at $150,000.00 for work required during the period ending June 30,2025. The term of this Contract may be extended by two (2) additional one (1) year term, provided the extension shall be at the sole option of DCYF. DCYF determines that each optional additional one-year extension would result in equal (and/or slightly higher) consideration being added to the total contract value.
