Request for Services for Policy and Research Service

The County of Los Angeles, Executive Office of the Board of Supervisors, Chief Sustainability Office, is soliciting responses to a concurrent Request for Qualifications (RFQ) and Request for Services (RFS) to establish a Consulting and Professional Services Master Agreement (CAPSMA) for as-needed policy and research services supporting the 2025 OurCounty Plan, with responses due October 12, 2026.

Vendors must submit responses to both the RFQ and RFS concurrently to qualify for the master agreement. No set-asides or preference programs are specified in the solicitation materials; however, vendors must provide Community Business Enterprise (CBE) information as part of the RFQ submission.

The scope comprises as-needed policy and research services to support Chief Sustainability Office initiatives under the 2025 OurCounty Plan. The CAPSMA will establish a framework for issuing work orders rather than a fixed-scope project. Vendors must demonstrate organizational capability, financial stability, and relevant experience through documented references and credentials.

RFQ submission requirements include the Vendor's Organization Questionnaire/Affidavit, Certification of Compliance, Debarment History and List of Terminated Contracts, Community Business Enterprise Information, List of References, Contribution and Agent Declaration Form, Supplemental Financial Information (if applicable), Declaration Financial Statements, and Certificate of Insurance. RFS submission requires a Response Cover Sheet, Response to Requested Information, References, and Staffing and Pricing Schedule.

The solicitation does not specify contract value, contract term, incumbent contractor information, evaluation criteria weighting, or pricing terms. Individual work orders issued under the master agreement will contain specific pricing, deliverables, and timelines. An RFQ Addendum One was posted on October 5, 2026, concurrently with the original solicitation.
