Child and Adult Care Food Program Outreach Program Services

The Illinois State Board of Education is seeking a vendor to provide Child and Adult Care Food Program outreach program services. The agency intends to expand awareness of and access to the program for eligible organizations serving infants, young children, and teens. To solve the problem of limited program participation, the agency requires a vendor to improve marketing and branding strategies that specifically target childcare and afterschool programs. The scope of work covers supporting agency outreach efforts to eligible meal benefit recipients and families, as well as promoting the program as a valuable resource for all communities, including homeless and migrant families. The selected vendor must develop creative strategies to remove barriers to program participation. Additionally, the project requires reviewing and improving current outreach and branded materials to increase interest while incorporating the use of technology. Eligible bidders must be onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency requires the selected vendor to perform all work offsite at the vendor's own office location. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget and has not disclosed specific evaluation criteria or key dates in the initial request.
