Interstate Compact Services

The Arizona Department of Child Safety, located in Phoenix, Arizona, is seeking a vendor to provide interstate compact services. The agency requires a partner to deliver all services indicated on the service approval while providing cross-cultural communication support through culturally competent staff at all levels of service delivery. This initiative aims to assist families with completing licensing paperwork, eliminating barriers to licensure, and preparing for Life Safety Inspections, including the remediation of any identified deficiencies. The scope of work also requires the vendor to assist families in keeping their adoption certification current through the filing of the petition to adopt. The selected provider must assist families who require re-certification or an extension of their certification within sixty calendar days before the certification expires. All contracted work must be performed offsite within the United States, as the agency restricts eligibility to onshore vendors. The agency is establishing a contract period of one year for these services. Bidders must submit proposals that include their pricing, as the agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget. The source document does not disclose specific evaluation criteria or key procurement dates.
