The Administration for Children and Families (ACF), Office of Government Contracting Services (GCS) intends to contract using other than full and open competition. The services and supplies are in support of the Office of Refugee Resettlement’s (ORR) mission to provide direct care services at the Children’s Care Center (CC), formally known as Influx Care Facility (ICF), in Greensboro, North Carolina (NC). This facility provides an appropriate and efficient means for ORR to acquire direct care, supervision, and the related services necessary for the care of UC aged 13 to 17-years old until they can be placed with an appropriate sponsor. Prime contractor capabilities, experience, subcontractor base, community-network, and expertise related to the provision of safe and appropriate care and support of UC and/or similarly situated at-risk minor populations are critical to the success of this effort.
