The Request for Proposal (RFP) seeks proposals from potential vendors, with submissions due no later than August 15, 2025, by 5:00 PM CDT. The document includes three key questions and answers regarding the contract, covering training modality, expense reporting requirements, and training frequency. Specifically, the responses indicate that activity contacts can be conducted in-person, virtually, or by phone, expense reports are required for both service and administrative costs, and annual staff training occurs at the start of the program year with additional trainings based on program updates and technical assistance needs.

The document is associated with the Department of Social Services and provides procurement details for a SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) Employment & Training partnership. The point of contact for this RFP is Kirsten Blachford, who can be reached at Kirsten.Blachford@state.sd.us. While the document does not specify funding amounts or detailed contract terms, it provides critical operational guidance for potential vendors interested in delivering training and support services related to SNAP Employment & Training programs. The flexible approach to meeting delivery modalities and the requirement for comprehensive expense reporting suggests the state seeks adaptable and transparent service providers.
