increased levels of functioning.
(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:

hereinafter referred to as Contractor, on July 5, 2022 to provide Residential Treatment and Education
Services for Autistic Youth twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days a week. A search of the
Foundation for Autism website provided a list of resources for the DC region and revealed that there
is one additional vendor: RMC of Washington, Inc. (RCM). However, after reaching out to RCM,
CFSA was informed that they only provide an adult day program, family, and individual support
services for adults with autism. CSAAC is thus the only available vendor. In the past, CFSA has also
attempted to solicit for these services with no success.
(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:
No protest was received.

program, CSAAC currently operates 51 community living residences for 135 residents throughout
Montgomery County, a 10-acre school site for children aged 7 through 21, an early intervention
program for newly diagnosed toddlers and children to age 7. Across all programs, CSAAC serves
nearly 300 families impacted by autism.
