What types of professional services does the ACF prioritize?

The ACF heavily prioritizes research, evaluation, and technical assistance services. They frequently seek contractors capable of conducting large-scale social science studies, providing training to state and local grantees, and developing policy-focused communications.

How does the ACF handle IT procurement?

ACF IT procurement focuses on modernizing case management systems and data collection platforms. Vendors should highlight their experience with cloud migration, secure data handling, and building interoperable systems that integrate with state-level human services databases.

Are there specific set-asides common for ACF contracts?

The ACF actively utilizes small business set-asides, particularly for 8(a) and Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB) firms. Because much of the work involves specialized social science and program management, demonstrating expertise in human services delivery is often as critical as socio-economic status.
