This is a Request for Preference Consideration document submitted by an applicant for the Los Angeles County Justice, Care and Opportunities Department's Work Order Solicitation #JC-030526-J1, which seeks to contract with organizations to provide JCOD Care Management (JCM) Program and Enhanced Care Management (ECM) Services. The document outlines the applicant's request to receive consideration for one or more enumerated preferences available under the solicitation, including but not limited to local small business enterprise (LSBE), minority-owned business enterprise (MBE), women-owned business enterprise (WBE), disabled-owned business enterprise (DOBE), service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB), or other applicable preferential statuses. The form requires the applicant to identify which specific preferences they are claiming, provide supporting documentation to substantiate eligibility, and certify the accuracy of their claims under penalty of perjury. The request must be submitted in accordance with the deadlines and procedures specified in the solicitation materials.

The preference consideration process is designed to ensure that organizations meeting specified criteria receive appropriate recognition and potential scoring advantages in the competitive bidding process. Applicants must demonstrate their eligibility through submission of valid certifications from recognized certifying bodies such as the California Department of General Services, the federal Small Business Administration, or other approved entities. Failure to provide adequate documentation or making false claims regarding preference eligibility may result in disqualification from the solicitation. This mechanism allows the County to advance its procurement objectives while supporting disadvantaged and emerging business enterprises in contracting opportunities related to justice-involved services in Los Angeles County.
