This Addendum No. 01 to DCF RFP 2324 107 amends the original solicitation issued by the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) for Workforce Leadership Development and Behavioral Outcomes Training. The RFP seeks consulting and training services to conduct a comprehensive Needs Assessment and Gap Analysis across six state regions, develop an Annual Training Plan, and deliver targeted leadership development training to Program Administrators, Operations Managers, Family Navigators, and other leadership personnel. The solicitation was originally advertised on June 18, 2025, with a written questions deadline of July 9, 2025 at 2:00 PM. This addendum modifies key timeline dates: the Department's answers to questions are now scheduled for August 27, 2025 (moved from August 18, 2025), the response deadline has been extended to September 15, 2025 at 10:00 AM (originally September 4, 2025), and the public response opening is rescheduled for September 15, 2025 at 2:00 PM. The public response opening will be conducted via video conference using GoToMeeting (Meeting ID: 687-621-357) with multiple dial-in options provided. The anticipated award posting date is October 13, 2025. The contract is structured as a three-year initial engagement commencing November 1, 2025, with deliverables including Initial and Annual Training Plans, Quarterly Reports, and Annual Coaching and Consultation Reports, with training sessions to be delivered up to six times per region annually in in-person, virtual, and hybrid formats.

The RFP evaluation criteria allocate up to 784 points for programmatic elements and 200 points for financial considerations. Providers must demonstrate the ability to ensure 85 percent knowledge increase in post-training assessments and 80 percent attendee satisfaction rates. The contract is structured as a cost-reimbursable agreement compensating providers based on actual verified training delivery costs with specific budget amounts to be determined for each fiscal year. Financial penalties of $100 daily are assessed for late report submissions or missed deliverable deadlines. The RFP does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types, and the procurement applies statewide across all six DCF regions. All original terms and conditions of the solicitation remain in effect except where amended by this addendum. Responses must be submitted through the Florida Marketplace (https://vendor.myfloridamarketplace.com/).
