Explanation of difference from base period (if applicable): A 27.37% increase from the base

(C) The goods or services to be provided, the methods of delivering goods or services, and any
significant program changes reflected in the proposed contract:
The purpose of this HCA is to provide comprehensive core services necessary to operate one or more
Short Term Family Housing (STFH) sites as home-like environments for families experiencing
homelessness located within the District. The STFH support services include management of day-to-
day operations, case management and other supportive services, linkage and connection to
community supports, food, security, janitorial, and furniture services.
Continuation of services under the current HCA provides uninterrupted and vital services to families
experiencing homelessness who have been enrolled in the program. Their placement affords
additional time for the pending services that shall assist in effectively moving the families toward
greater levels of self-sufficiency by engaging in activities that will help secure stable employment,
increase earnings, and decrease dependency on public assistance benefits. Services provided shall
include but are not limited to facilitation of day-to-day operations and case management services.
Additional services shall include linkages to community support, food, security, janitorial and
furniture services.
Further, without this HCA, the lack of shelter and services would have a catastrophic effect on the
District’s most at risk and vulnerable residents who rely on these services to survive.
(D) The date on which a competitive procurement for these goods or services was last conducted,
the date of the resulting award, and a detailed explanation of why a competitive procurement
is not feasible:
An electronic Request for Qualifications (RFQ), DOC371888 was issued in the open market
utilizing the Office of Contracting and Procurement’s (OCP) Procurement Automated Support
System (PASS) on March 28, 2018 and officially closed on May 3, 2018. The solicitation was a full
and open competition, and ten responses were received by the due date. Seven of the ten responses
were deemed qualified to provide STFH services and only two of the seven were deemed qualified
for site one.
The responses were evaluated according to the qualification criteria set forth in Attachment D. of
the RFQ’s “Instructions, Criteria, Conditions and Notices to Providers”. Based on the consensus
and the contracting officer’s independent assessment, The National Center for Children and
2
 Families, Inc. met all criteria, and therefore was deemed qualified and issued an HCA. The HCA
was awarded on August 1, 2018.
A competitive procurement was not feasible due to the multiple impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on
DHS’ operations. In its efforts to respond to the COVID-19 public emergency, the agency shifted its
priorities and resources from normal operations to meeting the immediate emergency needs and now the
phase out of the program. Due to the magnitude and complexity of the requirement, and the need to re-
scope the DHS’ STFH program; developing, soliciting, evaluating, and awarding the new requirement
will take approximately eight to twelve months to complete. OCP on behalf of the DHS anticipates
issuing a solicitation in FY24. It is in the best interest of the District to ensure that a delay or gap in
services does not occur in the performance of the STFH services by proceeding with the proposed
sole source contract extension until the long-term HCA is procured.
(E) A description of any bid protest related to the award of the contract, including whether the
protest was resolved through litigation, withdrawal of the protest by the protestor, or
voluntary corrective action by the District. Include the identity of the protestor, the grounds
alleged in the protest, and any deficiencies identified by the District as a result of the protest:
None received.
(F) The background and qualifications of the proposed contractor, including its organization,
financial stability, personnel, and performance on past or current government or private
sector contracts with requirements similar to those of the proposed contract:

contract and the ability to obtain those resources. The evidence is provided from the Contractor’s
financial history as reported by Dun and Bradstreet Business Report; completed on May 16, 2023.
The contractor has provided the same or similar services for the District and received positive
performance ratings. This evidence is provided in their past performance evaluation dated February
28, 2022. The provider of these services and its performance has been consistent, in conformance,
and satisfactory.
(G) A summary of the subcontracting plan required under section 2346 of the Small, Local, and
Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Development and Assistance Act of 2005, as amended,
D.C. Official Code § 2-218.01 et seq. (“Act”), including a certification that the subcontracting

1. Description of Proposed Human Care Agreement
The Office of Contracting and Procurement (“OCP”) on behalf of the Department of Human
Services (“DHS”) issued Human Care Agreement CW63222 (“HCA”) with The National Center
for Children and Families, Inc. (“NCCF”). OCP now seeks approval of a sole source extension of
the HCA.
Under the HCA, NCCF shall provide management oversight services for people experiencing
homelessness at 5505 Fifth Street NW. The HCA is in the not-to-exceed amount of
$4,259,823.84, which includes a firm fixed fee for management oversight as well as a cost
reimbursement component for any furniture replacement. Work pursuant to the HCA will be
authorized by task orders. The District shall be obligated only to the extent that purchases are
made by task orders pursuant to this HCA. OCP seeks approval of an extension period from
September 1, 2023, through August 31, 2024.

Council approved the definitized letter contract in the not-to-exceed amount of $3,344,394.13.
400 6th Street NW, Suite 9100, Washington, DC 20001 (202) 727-3400
OCP exercised the four option periods under this HCA and recommends extending the HCA one

it is in the best interest of the District to extend the contract while OCP prepares a new solicitation.
