National Technical Assistance Center Service

The government authority located in Washington, DC, is seeking a vendor to establish and operate a national technical assistance center. This center will increase the capacity and effectiveness of the National Aging Services Network to support the health and well-being of grandfamilies and kinship families, including caregivers, children, and parents. The agency aims to achieve measurable improvements in access to services, measurable increases in quality of life for these families, and a measurable increase in the nationwide use of evidence-based, evidence-informed, and exemplary practices. The scope of work requires the selected vendor to promote coordination among aging, kinship, disability, child welfare, and Tribal service systems. The vendor must develop and disseminate evidence-informed tools, resources, and best practices while supporting peer learning and cross-system collaboration. Additionally, the project involves improving awareness of available services and advancing access to caregiver supports for medically underserved populations, including Tribal communities, rural communities, and communities with limited service infrastructure. Eligibility is restricted to onshore organizations based in the United States. The agency requires the performance of all work to be conducted offsite. The agency is currently looking for proposals to determine the budget, and no specific key dates or evaluation criteria are provided in the source materials.
