ADD NO 03-DCF RFP 2324 107.pdf

This is an addendum to a Request for Proposals issued by the Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF) for Workforce Leadership Development and Behavioral Outcomes Training services. The solicitation (DCF RFP 2324 107) seeks a vendor to conduct a comprehensive Needs Assessment and Gap Analysis across six DCF regions, develop an Annual Training Plan, and deliver targeted leadership development training for Program Administrators, Operations Managers, Family Navigators, and other leadership personnel. The RFP requires delivery of up to six training sessions per region annually in in-person, virtual, and hybrid formats, along with professional coaching, project management services, and quarterly and annual reports. Addendum No. 03, issued on September 9, 2025, modifies the original timeline: the written questions deadline was July 9, 2025 at 2:00 PM; the Department's anticipated answers to questions shifted from September 9 to September 23, 2025; the response deadline was extended from September 25 to October 9, 2025 at 10:00 AM; the public response opening moved to October 9, 2025 at 2:00 PM via video conference; and the anticipated posting of award was extended from October 27 to November 12, 2025. The contract is structured as a cost-reimbursable agreement with an initial term commencing November 1, 2025, for three years.

The RFP evaluation will allocate up to 784 points for programmatic elements and 200 points for financial considerations. Vendors must demonstrate the ability to achieve 85 percent knowledge increase in post-training assessments and 80 percent attendee satisfaction. Financial penalties of $100 daily apply for late report submissions or missed deliverable deadlines. The procurement applies statewide across all six DCF regions with no explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types. Specific budget ranges are not definitively stated in the addendum; however, the contract includes a flexible pricing structure with amounts to be determined for each fiscal year. The solicitation prioritizes vendors with extensive experience in leadership development and behavioral outcomes training who can align with the Department's mission, vision, and values and deliver comprehensive workforce development across skill domains including change management, professional development, and organizational communication.
