Amendment #1.docx

This is Amendment No. 1 to Request for Qualifications and Quote (RFQQ) 26-DCYF-CW-097 issued by the Washington State Department of Children, Youth and Families (DCYF) on January 7, 2026. The amendment addresses access issues that bidders experienced when attempting to review required reference materials for the Stakeholder Engagement solicitation. Specifically, bidders reported difficulty accessing hyperlinks to "Reviewed SaaS Products" and "Security Policy Compliance (SPC) Agency Resources - General SaaS/PaaS - Summary" documents referenced in Question #5 of the Bidder Response form. To resolve this issue, DCYF has consolidated the information from these inaccessible links into a single Excel document titled "Approved Solutions," which is now made available to all bidders to ensure equal access to necessary project information.

No additional substantive changes to the solicitation terms, timeline, or project scope are detailed in this amendment. The amendment serves solely as a clarification notice to facilitate bidder access to required reference materials for the Stakeholder Engagement project, which involves collecting and synthesizing stakeholder input regarding implementation progress and adherence to trauma-informed, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and culturally responsive practices related to kinship engagement, family group planning, referrals, and transitions improvements under the D.S. Lawsuit and Settlement Agreement.
