DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN, YOUTH, AND FAMILIES
The Department of Children, Youth, and Families contemplates awarding a sole source contract to Third Sector Intelligence, Inc. to build the next set of data and programmatic updates to the Early Learning Data Store (aka “CUSP”, or the Child Universal Success Platform) to align and integrate CUSP inputs and outputs with other cloud-based integrated early learning data products that Office of Innovation, Alignment & Accountability (OIAA) staff already have or are building. This work is necessary to ensure consistency across OIAA data products and processes. This work includes child care assessment and rating data obtained through a previous contract between the Contractor and the Washington State Department of Early Learning.
