The awards were based on a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) process conducted for 2011-2014, with contracts authorized for up to three additional fiscal years through June 30, 2014. The AAA serves over 29,000 seniors in Alameda County, California, and the funded services include nutrition services, supportive services, family caregiver support, health insurance counseling, senior employment services, and ombudsman services.

Notable vendors and contractors include Afghan Elderly Association, Alzheimer's Services of the East Bay, Bay Area Community Services, City of Berkeley, City of Fremont, and others.

The period of performance is from July 1, 2010, through June 30, 2011, with options to renew through June 30, 2014.
