This document is an Addendum to a Request for Proposal (RFP) issued by the Virginia Department of Workforce Development and Advancement (Virginia Works) for a technology solution to provide workforce services to individuals and businesses in the state. The contract will involve the jurisdictions of Henrico County and Richmond City. The selected supplier will be required to provide a comprehensive technology platform to offer and manage these workforce services, including project management through the implementation process and ongoing maintenance and support for the system. Key deliverables include system requirements, integration, testing, training, and deployment. Proposals are due by June 7, 2024, and Virginia Works may award a contract with an initial term of two years and up to three one-year extensions.

The procurement includes set-aside requirements for DSBSD-certified small, women-owned, minority-owned, or service-disabled veteran-owned businesses (SWaM) to participate as subcontractors. Suppliers that are certified small businesses will receive the maximum available points for the SWaM Participation evaluation criterion. The contract will be funded through state and potentially federal sources, but the specific budget range is not provided. While an incumbent vendor is not identified, the RFP references existing cloud services and security requirements that the selected supplier must integrate with or comply with.
