JSSMA_Att_V_Request_for_Preference_Consideration-IPSP.pdf

This is a Request for Preference Consideration document submitted by Jewish Family Services (JSSF) for the Incarcerated Parents Services Program (IPSP) Work Order Solicitation issued by the County of Los Angeles Department of Children and Family Services. The document outlines JSSF's request for consideration of a local, small business, and nonprofit preference status for the IPSP contract opportunity. The solicitation seeks proposals from organizations capable of providing services that promote and facilitate family bonding time between incarcerated parents and their children in conjunction with DCFS case plans and Dependency Court orders. JSSF's submission addresses the primary focus of the IPSP, which centers on facilitating continued contact and family bonding opportunities as part of the County's broader child welfare services strategy.

The Request for Preference Consideration document establishes JSSF's eligibility for applicable preference programs that may provide competitive advantages during the proposal evaluation and award process. This type of preference documentation is standard in Los Angeles County procurement for organizations seeking to leverage their status as local vendors, small businesses, and nonprofit entities. The submission ensures that JSSF receives appropriate consideration under the County's preference policies, which may influence scoring and selection criteria in the competitive solicitation process for this single-contract award opportunity.
