The Authority is issuing this Solicitation for staffing services to pre-qualify eligible Respondents to receive opportunities to provide Services to the Authority on an as-needed basis over a five (5) year period. Qualification of a Respondent does not guarantee any amount of work.

The staffing categories and Staffing Solutions are listed below.

Respondents may qualify for one or more of the staffing categories listed above and may be added to the Qualified Company List anytime throughout the Term of Qualification. A Respondent may submit a Response to be approved as a Qualified Company at any time through February 29, 2028.

Temporary Staffing and Temporary to Permanent Staffing

When the Authority determines a Temporary or Temporary to Permanent staffing need, a Request for Candidates will be sent to the Qualified Companies in the applicable staffing category. The Request for Candidates will specify the staffing category, Staffing Solution, Services, and position requirements. The Qualified Companies will provide their Qualified Candidate(s) to the Authority. The Authority will review the Qualified Candidate(s), conduct interviews, and determine the best fit for the Authority. The Authority will negotiate the Bill Rate with the Qualified Company who submits the Best-Qualified Candidate, as selected by the Authority, to fill the position. If the Authority is unable to negotiate satisfactory rates, the Authority will negotiate with the Qualified Company submitting the next Best-Qualified Candidate, as selected by the Authority, to fill the position. Negotiations will be undertaken in such a sequence until an agreement is reached and the Request for Candidates is awarded or canceled. If cancelled, the Authority may issue a new Request for Candidates or may contact a staffing company not on the Qualified Company List.

Direct Placement/Recruiting

When the Authority determines a Direct Placement or Recruiting need, an Invitation to Quote will be issued through OpenGov to the Qualified Companies. The Authority will select from two or more of the Qualified Companies submitting the lowest Bill Rates.
