This is a Request for Preference Consideration attachment document submitted to the County of Los Angeles Justice, Care and Opportunities Department (JCOD) in support of a proposal for the JCOD Incubation Academy Executive Coaching and Nonprofit Leadership Development Intensive Program Services. The document outlines the applicant organization's request for consideration of specified preferences or certifications that may apply to the solicitation requirements. The attachment serves as supporting documentation for vendors seeking to participate in the Work Order Solicitation (WOS) for executive coaching and nonprofit leadership development services targeted at community-based organizations serving justice-involved individuals. This request document is integral to the bidding process, allowing organizations to formally declare their eligibility for any applicable preference categories or set-asides that may enhance their competitiveness or provide scoring advantages in the evaluation process.

The preference consideration request enables small nonprofits and community-based organizations to demonstrate their qualification status and request recognition of any applicable preferences, such as minority-owned business enterprises (MBE), women-owned business enterprises (WBE), small business certifications, or other relevant designations. By submitting this attachment with their proposal, vendors position themselves to receive appropriate consideration under any designated set-asides or preference scoring mechanisms established for this procurement. This procedural step is essential for organizations seeking to access the Incubation Academy's support services, particularly those historically underrepresented in government contracting or serving justice-impacted populations with limited access to traditional County funding opportunities.
