Single Feasible Source Purchase
| Title: |
| Rules Modernization Support |
| Description: |
| Executive Order 25-15 requires a full rewrite of all childcare licensing rules and to respond to this mandate, the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) requires ongoing services from National Association for Regulatory Administration (NARA). NARA is the only source to acquire the rules modernization support for DESE’s Key Indicator system to ensure Missouri state rules are in compliance with federal regulations requirements. NARA developed substantial institutional knowledge regarding Missouri’s regulatory framework, the current structure of childcare licensing and subsidy regulations, and the work conducted by the DESE childcare rule task force, making NARA uniquely positioned to continue this work efficiently without requiring significant onboarding, background research, or duplication of prior regulatory analysis. Continuity of expertise aligns with the intent of Missouri Governor’s Executive Order 25-15 and enables DESE to finalize rule revisions within the required timeline while minimizing disruption to the ongoing work of the task force and agency staff. |
As a result, this represents a proprietary requirement that meets the criteria as a single feasible source under RSMo 34.044 as the state is pursuing this acquisition as a Single Feasible Source.
