5330-0 FosterClub SOLE SOURCE.pdf

This document is a Sole Source Justification for the FosterClub Resources contract, issued by the State of Oregon. The contract is for the provision of resources and services to support the FosterClub, a national nonprofit organization that supports current and former foster youth. The sole source justification indicates that FosterClub is the only organization capable of providing the required services, which include facilitating a national peer support network, delivering training and technical assistance, and managing an online community platform. The contract term is for one year, with the option to renew for up to four additional one-year periods.

The document outlines FosterClub's unique qualifications, including its extensive experience in the foster care field, its national reach and reputation, and its proprietary technology platform. The sole source justification also notes that FosterClub has provided these services to the State of Oregon for several years under previous contracts, and that transitioning to a new provider would result in significant disruption to the state's foster youth support programs. The contract is funded through state and federal sources, with a total estimated value of $330,000 per year.
