REAS-RSFQ-APPENDIX-A-Sample-Master-Agreement.pdf

The document is a Sample Master Agreement for the Refugee Employment and Acculturation Services (REAS) Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFSQ) issued by the County of Los Angeles Department of Public Social Services (DPSS). The RFSQ seeks qualified vendors to provide employment and acculturation services to refugee families and individuals throughout Los Angeles County for Calendar Year 2024. Key dates include a Virtual Vendors Conference on January 18, 2024, at 10:00 A.M. Pacific Time, with a SOQ submission deadline of February 29, 2024, at 12:00 p.m. Pacific Time. While attendance at the virtual conference is not mandatory, it is highly recommended to ensure a comprehensive understanding of the RFSQ process.

The procurement is specifically targeting vendors who can support the Refugee Employment Program (REP) with services aimed at helping refugee populations integrate and become self-sufficient. The contract will be structured as a Master Agreement, allowing DPSS to establish a pool of qualified service providers for the upcoming year. While specific funding amounts are not detailed in the available document, the RFSQ indicates that vendors selected will be eligible for Calendar Year 2024 funding. The virtual conference provides an opportunity for potential vendors to ask questions and gain insights into the County's specific requirements and expectations for refugee employment and acculturation services.
