Welcome to the SUN Service System Procurement Information Webpage. The SUN Service System, an initiative managed by Youth & Family Services in the Department of County Human Services, has been working on planning components for the upcoming Request For Programmatic Qualification (RFPQ) process. Through this competitive process we will be soliciting applications from Suppliers interested in contracting with Multnomah County for services managed through the SUN Service System.
The RFPQ is a two stage process to establish a pool of qualified suppliers for the SUN Service System. The first stage screens for organizational capacity and experience in the community. The second stage will screen qualified suppliers from stage 1, for skills and knowledge in operating SUN Service System regional or culturally specific programming.
Being qualified does not automatically result in a contract as the intention of the SUN Service System RFPQ is to build a pool of qualified suppliers.
Updated RFPQ information will be featured on this web page. To receive reminders and more information please sign up here.
SUN Service System
The SUN Service System is a unique city-county-school-nonprofit partnership designed to align and integrate key social and support services for children, youth and their families toward two long-term outcomes: increased academic success for all youth, and an overall reduction in poverty in our community.
Vision: A community that effectively engages and supports all children and families so they are healthy, educated and prosperous.
Mission: Collaborate to create an efficient system of support that provides equitable opportunities for every child and family to thrive.
At Multnomah County, we are continuously committed to examining the ways our policies, procedures, practices, and organizational culture contribute to injustice and institutional racism, as well as opportunities for fairness, inclusion, belonging, and community well-being for all. Our goal is to use strategies to target resources that are culturally responsive and appropriate to our communities most negatively impacted by systemic racism, health inequity, and barriers to opportunity and to advance positive outcomes for all our residents.
With that in mind, if your organization is interested in providing services to children and families within the SUN Service System, we highly encourage you to bookmark this page and watch for upcoming community informational sessions to learn more about the SUN Service System, qualifications to apply, the RFPQ and our contracting process. In the meantime, please browse our website for the description of all SUN programs and services.
