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 comprehensive pool of as-needed consultants for providing professional services across eleven 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, management consulting, park planning and policy, program evaluation and compliance, project technical assistance, and website development and design. The procurement is designed to create a flexible, multi-year consulting resource that can be engaged for various projects as specific needs arise within Los Angeles County. Potential consultants will be evaluated based on their expertise, past performance, and capability to deliver high-quality services across these professional domains. The solicitation was originally posted on July 14, 2025, with a due date of February 27, 2026, and has been accompanied by three addenda that provide additional clarification, response to questions, and potential revisions to the original RFSQ document. Consultants will be expected to demonstrate substantial experience and technical proficiency in their proposed service categories, with the selection process emphasizing qualification-based criteria.

While the provided documents do not explicitly detail specific set-aside designations or restrictions for respondents, the RFSQ appears to be open to a wide range of consulting firms and professionals who can meet the technical and performance requirements. No specific incumbent vendors or existing contractors were identified in the documentation. The solicitation suggests a qualification-based selection approach, indicating that the award will not be solely price-driven but based on the demonstrated capabilities and expertise of the consulting teams. Although precise budget ranges were not specified, the as-needed, task order-based approach implies potential flexibility in engagement and scope. The procurement represents an opportunity for consultants to become part of a pre-qualified pool of service providers for the regional park and open space district, with the potential for multiple consultants to be selected across the various service categories. The geographic focus is explicitly Los Angeles County, California, with the intent of supporting parks, open space, and related community development initiatives through targeted professional services.
