About this opportunity

The County of Orange Probation Department is soliciting proposals for Vocational Services through RFP No. 057-2788101-RB, targeting youth aged 14-25 in juvenile facilities including Juvenile Hall, Youth Leadership Academy, Youth Guidance Center, and the Multipurpose Rehabilitation Center. The procurement seeks qualified firms to provide comprehensive vocational training across multiple disciplines such as automotive, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, culinary, truck driving, welding, computer coding, medical coding, medical billing, barber/cosmetology, carpentry, graphic design, and web design. Respondents must deliver both in-person and online courses with the primary objective of helping youth obtain vocational certificates or degrees. The evaluation criteria include knowledge and experience (15%), staffing (20%), service delivery (26.7%), service cost (16.7%), compliance with the county model contract (4.2%), and outcomes (17.5%). The proposal submission deadline is March 31, 2025, at 3:00 pm, with a non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting scheduled for March 10, 2025, at 10:00 am via Microsoft Teams. This solicitation is part of the implementation of Senate Bill 823 (Juvenile Justice Realignment), which transfers juvenile justice service responsibilities to counties with a rehabilitation and support focus.

The contract is structured as a usage-based agreement, with the county providing laptops, writing supplies, and facility space, while the contractor must supply qualified personnel, vocational counselors, course materials, and equipment. There are no specific set-aside designations mentioned for disadvantaged enterprises. The program anticipates serving approximately 400 youth, predominantly male and Hispanic, who are either in custody or supervised in the community. Contractors will be required to submit monthly tracking data including youth demographics, program participation, outcomes, and certification achievements. While a specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the contract will be for a three-year term with potential renewal for two additional years, with invoicing based on course attendance and related expenses. All potential respondents must comply with stringent background check requirements, including CLETS (California Law Enforcement Telecommunications System) protocols and PREA (Prison Rape Elimination Act) guidelines, which involve comprehensive background screenings and mandatory sexual misconduct prevention training.
