Request for Vendorization (RFV)
Published Date: April 4, 2022
Closing Date: Ongoing until resource need declines
In conjunction with our Fiscal Year 2021-2022 Resource Development Plan, North Los Angeles County Regional Center (NLACRC) is now accepting proposal submissions for the Social Recreation, Camp, and Non-Medical Therapies Request for Vendorization (RFV) cycle.
Entities wishing to develop a service identified below may submit their proposal following the instructions provided here. Submission of a proposal is not the vendorization process itself, but the first step to being vendored with NLACRC. Proposals are reviewed and eligible applicants will be selected to move to the next stage of development, which involves technical assistance regarding the vendorization process. All applicants must demonstrate that they possess the necessary relevant professional experience and organizational capacity to create and sustain high quality, effective, long-term services, and are responsive to the needs of the individuals served.
Applicants must plan to have a physical office located in the NLACRC catchment area. In addition, it is highly recommended that applicants be able to provide services in a minimum of one language other than English (see Languages listed below). If the service you are interested in providing is not listed in the projects below, you will need to submit a proposal during the next applicable cycle of development. Please Note: There are no start-up funds associated with this RFV. Applicants are responsible for 100% of the initial start-up costs and continued maintenance of the business. However, please note that per regulation, pursuant to Title 17 section 54322, (d) (10), Regional Centers cannot guarantee referrals.

NLACRC DEVELOPMENT CYCLES
In accordance with our Community Resource Development plan, NLACRC strives to provide the needed resources and supports within our geographical catchment area. The first step to becoming an NLACRC vendor is to submit a proposal during an applicable cycle of development. At NLACRC there are three cycles of development: Request for Proposal (RFP), Request for Vendorization (RFV), and Open Proposal Period (OPP). Please note that NLACRC does not send out vendor application packets. Submitting a proposal is the not the vendorization process itself, but only the first step. For more information regarding the development cycle process at NLACRC please visit How to Become a Service Provider | NLACRC.
SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS
All proposals must conform to the Proposal Writing Guidelines and Content Requirements detailed below. The applicant must submit the completed proposal to resourcedevelopment@nlacrc.org. No fax copies or physical copies dropped off at NLACRC will be accepted. The proposals must be complete, typewritten, collated, page numbered, and submitted electronically via email. If a deadline is indicated within the Writing Guidelines, no proposals will be accepted after the deadline.
Due to email constraints, NLACRC recommends proposals be submitted in multiple (i.e., three or more) emails. Be sure to label the emails based on the number of emails – for example, 1 of 3, 2 of 3, etc. If your email series does not generate a final response email in return, the files were too large and were not received.
