Section 646 IAC 2-5-2 - Service provider selection

Authority: IC 22-4.1-3-3

Affected: IC 22-4.1

Sec. 2.

(a) The department may issue policies for the selection of service providers or program services distinct from the procurement policies applicable to vendors of supplies, equipment, construction, and services consistent with subsection (d).
(b) These policies shall apply to the department, grant recipients, administrative entities, and other entities directly contracting with the department, contracted by the department for the provisions of employment and training services, and all subcontractors of those entities who provide employment and training services in an assistance relationship for programs for which the department has administrative responsibility.
(c) The department shall require that grant recipients and other entities directly contracting with the department have written policies and procedures to assure that primary consideration in selecting agencies or organizations to deliver services within a service area shall be based upon the effectiveness of the agency or organization in delivering comparable or related services based on demonstrated performance goals, costs or price, quality of training, and characteristics of participants. Organizations or agencies so selected must be entities which are legally authorized to enter into contractual relationships.
(d) The department shall require grant recipients, and other entities directly contracting with the department for funds other than Wagner-Peyser, to have written procurement policies which include prohibition against the duplication of facilities or services available in the area (with or without reimbursement) from federal, state, or local services, unless it is demonstrated that the alternate services or facilities would be more effective or more likely to achieve the service area's performance goals.
