Pre-Eligibility Services - Child Care Formula

Workforce Solutions Borderplex, a regional workforce development board serving six counties in far West Texas (Brewster, Culberson, El Paso, Hudspeth, Jeff Davis, and Presidio), is requesting quotes for pre-eligibility services under Child Care Formula funding, with proposals due by 3:00 PM MST on March 12, 2026.

The scope comprises comprehensive pre-eligibility application review and preparation for child care subsidy applicants, including documentation verification, income calculations, applicant follow-up, and submission of complete application packets to the eligibility team. Deliverables include review-ready parent application packets, document verification checklists, income calculation worksheets, applicant follow-up logs, submission readiness confirmations, error correction support, and monthly pre-eligibility activity reports. Vendors must demonstrate working knowledge of Texas Child Care Services eligibility processes, Texas Workforce Commission rules, and Chapter 809 of the Texas Administrative Code. Proposals must address staff qualifications, quality control measures, and data security practices.

Pre-eligibility services are funded through multiple sources: Department of Labor/ETA WIOA Formula Grants and Wagner-Peyser, Department of Health and Human Services TANF and Child Care Development Fund, and Food and Nutrition Service SNAP Employment & Training. The services are classified as allowable costs under Child Care Formula funding because they support application and documentation compliance with Texas Workforce Commission and Child Care Services requirements prior to formal eligibility determination, directly advancing program performance in timeliness, accuracy, and compliance.

Proposals must be submitted by email to procurement@borderplexjobs.com; late submissions are not considered. No specific contract value, contract term, or award date is identified. Questions may be directed to Odette Flores-Rivera at Odette.flores-rivera@borderplexjobs.com.
