How to bid on the Welfare-to-Work Expanded Subsidized Employment Program for Solano County

What Solano County is buying

Solano County is looking for qualified organizations to support its Expanded Subsidized Employment Program. This program helps CalWORKs clients gain paid work experience, improve job skills, and move into permanent jobs. Services may include job training, job coaching, placement services, and creating agreements with employers for work assignments.

This is an ongoing opportunity, meaning the county will accept statements of interest while the posting remains open. This allows vendors to submit their interest over a longer period.

Key dates and deadlines

The solicitation was published on May 11, 2026. The deadline for submitting your response is May 19, 2027, at 8:00 PM ET. Since this is an open and continuous opportunity, you can submit your statement of interest at any time while the posting is active.

Who this opportunity suits

This opportunity is suitable for organizations experienced in job training, job coaching, and employment placement services. Firms that can develop and manage worksite agreements with employers for subsidized employment would be a good fit. This falls under the healthcare category, likely due to its social services aspect.

You will need to sign in or create a free vendor account on OpenGov Procurement. This account allows you to download plans, ask questions, join the planholders list, and submit your statement of interest before the deadline. Any updates or addenda will also be communicated through OpenGov.

Tips for preparing a competitive response

Clearly describe your organization's experience in providing job training, coaching, and placement services, especially for populations similar to CalWORKs clients. Highlight your ability to establish and manage effective worksite agreements with employers, detailing how you define work assignments and responsibilities.

Demonstrate your understanding of the program's goals to help clients transition into unsubsidized employment. Provide concrete examples of past successes in similar programs.
