The RFP does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. Additionally, the RFP does not mention any incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The total value of the 21st CCLC grants is approximately $350,000, resulting in a maximum evaluation fee of $10,500 per grant.
