About this file
This document is an Addendum for a Pre-Apprenticeship (PRAP) program opportunity issued by the State of Delaware. The Addendum contains a Q&A from a pre-bid meeting, providing clarification on several aspects of the program. The opportunity is seeking proposals for pre-apprenticeship programs that are aligned with Registered Apprenticeship (RA) programs. The maximum award amount is $750,000, and the grant term runs until December 31, 2026. The state clarified that there are no set-asides for women-owned programs, and that programs from out-of-state RA providers can be considered if they have reciprocity in Delaware. The state will notify all applicants of the selection status but will not provide debriefs to unsuccessful offerors.
Regarding pricing and funding, the state indicated that advance payments are not the norm but can be discussed during the negotiation process for successful applicants. The opportunity is open to all interested parties, and there was no mention of any incumbent providers. The funding for this opportunity is provided by the state government.
