Was this contractor selected by competitive process? If not, why not?
Yes. OED originally issued RFPs for its contracted workforce programs in November 2015, and undertook a rigorous proposal review and rating system which resulted in contracts being awarded to selected providers in Spring 2016. It was intended that this proposal/performance period would span three years, renewed each year with contractors, pending performance. At that time, ResCare Workforce Services was awarded contracts to fulfill both TANF-recipient employment services as well as WIOA One-Stop and comprehensive services for the 2016-17 year. A second contract was granted regarding TANF services for the 2017-18 funding year, and this proposed third TANF contract will cover the 2018-19 year. ResCare’s involvement has been focused to a subset of TANF recipients at the most work-ready level, with emphasis on the assessment steps using such software-based tools such as Kenexa and the Test for Adult Basic Education (TABE). In January 2019, OED will again issue workforce program RFPs for the next three years, renewable each year pending performance, and its TANF programs will be included.
