Notice of Sole Source Procurement - Champions

The Reynolds School District in Multnomah County, Oregon, is pursuing a sole source procurement for extended day care services at Fairview Elementary School during their summer program. The procurement targets Champions, the current extended care provider for multiple school district sites, who has recently become licensed to provide care at district locations. The primary objective is to secure comprehensive summer program childcare services, with the district intending to award the contract to Champions unless other qualified vendors can demonstrate equivalent capabilities. Interested vendors must submit detailed capability statements by 5:00 pm PST on June 29, 2022, which is seven days after the initial posting date of June 22, 2022. The capability statements must comprehensively outline the vendor's qualifications, operational capacities, and ability to meet the district's specific extended day care requirements for the summer program.

No specific set-aside designations or enterprise restrictions were explicitly mentioned in the procurement documentation. The current incumbent, Champions, appears to have a significant advantage due to their existing relationship with the Reynolds School District and their current licensing status across multiple school sites. While the exact contract value was not disclosed, the scope suggests a summer-long extended day care service contract for Fairview Elementary School. The procurement process allows for potential alternative vendors to compete by submitting capability statements, but the district's preference is clearly to continue working with Champions. The contract appears focused on providing comprehensive childcare services during the summer program, with the primary evaluation criteria being the vendor's ability to meet the district's operational and licensing requirements for extended day care services.
