Childcare Assistance/ Promise NYC - SI Renewal #1

Pursuant to Sections 3-04(b)(2)(i)(D) and 3-04(b)(2)(ii) of the Procurement Policy Board (PPB) Rules, the New York City Administration for Childrens Services (ACS) seeks authorization to enter into a non-competitive negotiated acquisition contract with Staten Island Community Job Center d.b.a. La Colmena. This vendor will continue providing community-based childcare assistance to families. Increasing access to child care assistance is an explicit strategy for creating an equitable, accessible childcare and early education experience for NYC families. A competitive process for procuring services from CBOs is incompatible with the time sensitive nature of the funding process. Additionally, there are a limited number of CBOs with demonstrated operational/administrative capacity and a history running programs targeting this population, especially within the specific neighborhoods identified as having the highest populations of undocumented children. Given this, ACS also makes this request pursuant to Section 3-04(b)(2)(ii) of the PPB rules.
