Holocaust Restitution Claims

The Florida Department of Financial Services, Division of Consumer Services, is issuing a Request for Proposal (RFP) to obtain competitive sealed responses from qualified vendors to provide experienced and qualified case managers to assist in providing restitution assistance to Holocaust victims and their heirs and beneficiaries throughout the state of Florida. The Department is seeking vendors with experience providing social services and restitution to this population. The initial contract term is five (5) years, with the option for up to five (5) years of renewals. Responses are due by 4:00 PM Eastern Time on June 8, 2022, and the Department plans to post a notice of intent to award on June 27, 2022. The RFP outlines the requirement for respondents to provide a price response detailing their fees for assisting potential claimants with restitution inquiries, filing restitution applications, and educating the Holocaust victim population to increase awareness of restitution programs.

No information is provided regarding incumbent vendors or current contractors, or any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The RFP states that annual funding is contingent on legislative appropriations, and the Department reserves the right to adjust the minimum number of participants to be served based on changes in appropriations. The possible award value or budget range is not disclosed.
