Description
The City and County of San Francisco’s Office of Economic and Workforce Development issued RFP 235 to fund a comprehensive suite of workforce‑development programs across 19+ specialized program areas, ranging from centralized job‑center services to industry‑specific occupational‑skills training (healthcare, hospitality, tech, construction, etc.). After a competitive selection process, intent‑to‑award decisions were announced for dozens of community‑based nonprofit vendors, each receiving a contract to deliver targeted services such as job counseling, apprenticeship pathways, training curricula, and support for underserved populations (youth, veterans, people with disabilities, and low‑income residents). The overall anticipated funding for all awards totals approximately $23.8 million, with individual contracts ranging from $6,250 to $3.25 million per year and contract terms of two to four years, potentially extendable through June 2032. The procurement follows full and open competition, includes multiple awardees, and imposes extensive compliance requirements (e.g., insurance, equal‑benefits, prevailing‑wage, and reporting obligations).
• Multi‑award RFP covering 19 distinct workforce‑development program areas.
• Awards to 36 nonprofit/community vendors, each receiving intent‑to‑award or final award.
• Total anticipated funding ≈ $23.8 million; contract terms 2‑4 years with optional extensions.
• Strong compliance mandates: insurance, equal‑benefits, prevailing‑wage, reporting, and data‑security.
