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 consultant services across ten distinct professional 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. The procurement seeks to create a flexible, on-call consultant roster from which RPOSD can selectively engage specialized professional services as specific projects and organizational needs emerge. Potential consultants must demonstrate expertise and qualifications within one or more of these service domains, with the ability to provide targeted, high-quality professional support to the district's park and open space initiatives. The original solicitation was posted on July 14, 2025, with subsequent addendums extending and clarifying the submission process, and the current due date is set for February 27, 2026. Evaluation criteria are likely to focus on professional qualifications, demonstrated expertise, past performance, and the ability to deliver specialized services effectively across the identified service categories.

The RFSQ does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations, suggesting the opportunity is open to a broad range of consulting firms and professionals in California. While specific budget ranges or contract values are not detailed in the available documents, the procurement appears structured as an indefinite quantity, multiple-award contract that will allow RPOSD to issue task orders to pre-qualified consultants as needed. The solicitation implies a potential multi-year arrangement, enabling the district to maintain a dynamic and responsive consulting resource pool. No incumbent vendors or existing contractors are mentioned in the provided documentation. The contract seems designed to provide RPOSD with agile, specialized support across multiple professional domains, enabling the district to efficiently engage expertise as specific project requirements arise. The geographical scope is centered in Los Angeles County, with services tailored to support the district's park and open space management objectives through a flexible, on-demand consulting approach.
