RPOSD RFSQ For As-Needed Consultant Services

The Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District (RPOSD) has issued a Request for Statement of Qualifications (RFSQ) to establish a pool of as-needed consultants for providing professional services across ten distinct categories. These categories include communication and event support, community outreach, document digitization and management, financial and assessment support, geographic information system and mapping, grant writing and program materials development, management consulting, park planning and policy, program evaluation and compliance, project technical assistance, and website development and design. The procurement aims to create a multi-disciplinary consultant roster that can be engaged on a task-order basis for various RPOSD projects and initiatives. Potential consultants will be evaluated based on their expertise, experience, and capability to deliver high-quality services within the specified domains. The solicitation was initially posted on July 14, 2025, with a current due date of February 27, 2026, and has undergone three addenda that have provided additional clarification and potentially extended key dates for the solicitation. The RFSQ is a qualification-based selection process designed to pre-qualify consultants who can support RPOSD's operational and strategic needs across Los Angeles County.

While the documents do not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types, the RFSQ appears to be open to a wide range of consulting firms with relevant expertise in parks, open space, and municipal services. The solicitation does not specify incumbent vendors or current contractors, nor does it provide detailed information about existing infrastructure or technology integration requirements. There are no explicit budget ranges or award values mentioned in the available documents, suggesting that task orders and specific scopes of work will be determined on a project-by-project basis. The contract structure appears to be an as-needed, on-call consulting services arrangement where pre-qualified consultants can be selected based on specific project requirements and individual consultant qualifications. Consultants will likely be chosen through a competitive process that evaluates their proposed approach, past performance, technical capabilities, and alignment with RPOSD's diverse project needs across the identified service categories.
