Youth Development Curriculum Development & Training Facilitation – Request for Information

The County of Los Angeles Department of Youth Development has issued a Request for Information (RFI) seeking details about organizations and practitioners capable of developing curriculum and facilitating training for youth-serving professionals on youth development frameworks, theories, and practices. This is an informational solicitation rather than a formal competitive procurement, designed to help the County identify potential vendors and assess market capacity before issuing subsequent competitive solicitations. Respondents should demonstrate expertise in youth development curriculum development and training facilitation. The RFI does not specify particular deliverables, key performance metrics, or detailed evaluation criteria at this preliminary stage, as it functions primarily as a market research tool to establish baseline information about available resources and capabilities. Responses must be submitted electronically through BIT.LY/DYDCURRICULUMRFI no later than Friday, May 29, 2026, by 5:00 p.m. PST. No bidders' conferences, site visits, or question submission periods are mentioned in the solicitation materials.

The RFI does not specify set-aside designations, disadvantaged business enterprise requirements, or restrictions on the types of organizations eligible to respond at this information-gathering stage. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the available documentation. The solicitation does not reference existing infrastructure, technology platforms, or systems that would require vendor integration. Pricing terms, contract amounts, funding sources, and possible award values are not specified, as this RFI represents preliminary outreach to assess the market rather than a commitment to a specific procurement timeline, contract structure, or award amounts. Organizations interested in future opportunities with the County should respond to this RFI to establish visibility and demonstrate their capabilities in youth development curriculum and training facilitation.
