Probation Policy Manual Update and Development of a Web-Based Platform to Interface with Probation's Public Webpage.

The Orange County and San Francisco City Probation Departments are seeking firms to conduct a comprehensive update of their probation policy manual and develop a web-based platform interfacing with the department's public webpage. This Request for Information (RFI) targets firms with expertise in policy writing, legal research, and policy development that can demonstrate capabilities in updating existing departmental policies to align with current case law proceedings. Key deliverables include providing legal guidance, conducting legal research, analyzing future judicial decisions, and creating an online annual policy manual subscription platform. The RFI requires respondents to submit detailed information about their policy writing styles, formatting approaches, and demonstrate technical capabilities for web-based policy management. Firms are encouraged to submit model samples, charts, illustrations, or links showcasing policy revision examples from other local entities. The response deadline is January 13, 2025, with all questions and submissions required through the https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/ocgov platform. A tentative 30-60 minute virtual or in-person clarification meeting is scheduled for February 13, 2025, to discuss potential RFI responses.

While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in the provided documentation, the procurement appears open to qualified vendors demonstrating specialized policy development and web platform expertise. The RFI does not specify incumbent vendors or mandate specific enterprise classifications. No explicit budget range is provided, as this represents a market research initiative to gather vendor capabilities rather than a formal solicitation. Respondents must register at https://procurement.opengov.com/signup and provide comprehensive company information, including their DUNS number. The county reserves the right to issue or not issue a formal solicitation process following this RFI, with the potential procurement subject to budget approval. Interested firms should note that technical support for registration and submission is available through OpenGov vendor support, and all communication must occur through the designated online procurement portal, with no email or telephone inquiries permitted.
