Request for Statement of Qualifications - Master Agreement for As-Needed Contract Studies and Audits

The County of Los Angeles Department of Auditor-Controller is seeking qualified vendors to conduct as-needed studies and audits through a Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFSQ) for a Master Agreement. The procurement is designed to pre-qualify vendors in three specific project types: Studies, Management Audits, and Financial/Compliance Audits. Vendors must demonstrate expertise in these areas and will be allowed to subcontract with outside resources to assemble project teams with specialized capabilities when specific expertise is required. The RFSQ was posted on December 12, 2016, with a response deadline of January 16, 3025, indicating an unusually extended submission period. Interested vendors must request a copy of the RFSQ by emailing contract.audits@auditor.lacounty.gov. The Department will use this Master Agreement approach to solicit proposals from pre-qualified vendors as specific work needs arise, ensuring a flexible and targeted procurement process for audit and study services.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor types were explicitly mentioned in the document, the procurement appears open to a wide range of professional consulting and audit firms capable of meeting the County's technical requirements. The Master Agreement structure suggests that multiple vendors may be selected to create a pool of qualified contractors from which the Department can draw as needed. No specific incumbent vendors or current contractors were identified in the provided information. Similarly, no explicit budget ranges or award values were specified in the document. The procurement's flexible framework indicates that individual project scopes and corresponding values will likely be determined on a case-by-case basis as specific audit and study needs emerge within the Los Angeles County government. Vendors will need to demonstrate substantial professional capabilities across studies, management audits, and financial/compliance audit domains to be considered for inclusion in the master vendor pool.
