The procurement involves hiring temporary administrative staff across three classification levels: Entry Level, Administrative Assistant I, and Administrative Assistant II, with a three-year base contract period utilizing an indefinite quantity and firm fixed pricing model. Bidders must demonstrate at least two years of experience providing temporary administrative staffing services, with a minimum of three placements per year, and will be responsible for screening, proposing, and managing temporary staff, subject to DHCD's approval and potential assignment termination. The pre-bid conference is scheduled for September 25, 2025, at 10:00 AM via Google Meet, with bidder questions due by October 3, 2025, and final bids due by October 17, 2025. Evaluation will focus on bidders' ability to provide qualified administrative personnel, with compensation strictly based on hours worked and no payment permitted for lunch breaks or tardiness.

This procurement is designated as a Small Business Reserve (SBR) solicitation, which means only certified small businesses are eligible to bid, with a 5% overall Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) or Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) subcontracting goal. No specific subgoals are established for different minority categories, and there are no Veteran-Owned Small Business (VSBE) subcontracting requirements. The contract is not federally funded, and DHCD will retain significant discretion in staff selection and assignment. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed in the provided documents, the bid price form includes provisions for calculating total potential costs across three administrative staff classification levels over the three-year contract period. The procurement emphasizes flexible staffing solutions, allowing DHCD to augment its administrative capacity as needed while maintaining strict control over temporary personnel selection and performance.
