About this file
This is a Bidder Response Form for RFA 25-DCYF-CW 098, a Caregiver Supports contract opportunity administered by the Washington State Department of Children, Youth, and Families (DCYF). The project implements new Caregiver Supports Contracts designed to increase access to placement supports for all caregivers—both licensed and unlicensed—to better align services with the diverse needs of children and youth in out-of-home placement. Bidders must commit to serve in one of six geographical catchment areas, with this form specifically addressing Area 11 (Central). The response form requires submission of organizational information, an organization chart, and resumes of key personnel, along with comprehensive technical and management proposals addressing 14 evaluation criteria.
The evaluation framework allocates 175 total points across 14 scored sections, with particular emphasis on cultural responsiveness and racial equity (20 points), collaboration with and understanding of Native American tribes and tribal sovereignty (55 points combined), experience with trauma-informed care (15 points), and staff recruitment and support plans (15 points). Selected agencies will be required to designate a target percentage of the service population to serve by the end of the ramp-up period, ranging between 15 and 25 percent of the catchment population. The contract is structured as a rate-based agreement, and bidders must demonstrate their capacity to provide same-day services across large geographical areas, emergency response support, and collaboration with available caregiver resources in their respective regions.
