The document appears to be a solicitation for Back-Up Care Services and Discount Program for the City of Tucson, Arizona. The City seeks a comprehensive back-up care service for its approximately 4,200 employees, offering care services for children, adults, seniors, and pets. The program provides up to three days of employer-subsidized back-up care annually, which can be used nationally for both in-home and out-of-home care during work hours or work-related travel. The solicitation does not include a pre-proposal conference, and prospective offerors are encouraged to submit questions through the designated Question and Answer section, preferably within 5 days prior to the submittal due date.

The back-up care services include flexible options such as emergency/unplanned care and coverage for routine service disruptions. The program uniquely offers a Personal Network Back-Up Care component, allowing employees to receive reimbursement for back-up care providers they source independently, including family members, friends, businesses, or services. The current program has been in place since July 1, 2019, and provides comprehensive care support to city employees across various care categories. Potential vendors are advised to carefully review the solicitation details and submit any clarifying questions to the assigned Contract Officer before the submission deadline.
