Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFSQ) for Evaluation Services

The County of Los Angeles, Department of Public Health is conducting a continuous Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFSQ) to establish a master agreement with contractors providing evaluation services. This solicitation seeks qualified firms to support program assessment and performance measurement across various public health initiatives. Contractors will be responsible for delivering comprehensive evaluation services, which may include data analysis, performance tracking, program impact assessment, and detailed reporting on public health program effectiveness. The RFSQ allows for ongoing submission of Statements of Qualifications (SOQs), with reviews conducted at the County's convenience, effectively creating a rolling procurement process. The original solicitation was posted on December 20, 2018, with a due date listed as January 16, 3025, though the continuous submission model suggests firms can apply at any time. Evaluation criteria will likely focus on firm expertise, prior experience in public health evaluation, methodological capabilities, and demonstrated success in conducting complex program assessments. The master agreement structure enables the County to engage pre-qualified contractors for specific evaluation projects as needs arise, with individual project scopes and terms negotiated separately.

The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. There are no details provided about incumbent vendors or current contractors in the available documents. The RFSQ does not outline specific budget ranges or potential award values, indicating that compensation will be negotiated on a project-by-project basis under the master agreement framework. Potential respondents will need to demonstrate substantial qualifications in public health evaluation, including robust research methodologies, data analysis capabilities, and experience working with government health departments. The procurement approach suggests the County is seeking a diverse pool of evaluation service providers who can flexibly support various program assessment needs. Contractors will likely need to provide comprehensive documentation of their qualifications, including professional credentials, past performance records, and detailed descriptions of their evaluation approach and methodological frameworks. The continuous submission model provides ongoing opportunities for qualified firms to enter the evaluation services pool for the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.
