Preschool for All Providers

Multnomah County’s Preschool & Early Learning Division is selecting provider sites to deliver the “Preschool for All” program for FY 27. The solicitation is a Request for Programmatic Qualifications (RFPQ) that asks new and re‑applying providers to demonstrate experience, equity‑focused practices, cultural and linguistic responsiveness, inclusion policies, staffing qualifications, health‑and‑safety compliance, and workforce support. Proposals must be submitted electronically via the Multco Marketplace Supplier Portal by the closing deadline, and each site with a distinct Tax‑ID must submit a separate profile. • Scope: Operate preschool sites serving priority populations (low‑income, English‑language learners, children with disabilities, etc.) and assist the County in refining program details. • Evaluation: 75 % programmatic criteria (experience, priority‑populations service, cultural diversity, inclusion, daily schedule, ERDC participation) and 25 % responsible‑business‑practice criteria (licensing, health & safety, staff engagement, workforce development). • Requirements: Oregon child‑care license (or equivalent health‑safety plan), detailed daily schedule, inclusion policy, staff qualification levels, and a commitment to avoid labor disputes. • Submission: Electronic via MMP; new suppliers must complete an access request ≥ 5 business days before the deadline. No budget amount is disclosed, but the County has allocated roughly $5 million for the overall program.
