Hawaii is seeking community input to shape future Immigrant Resource Center contracts across the state. - Government buyer: State of Hawaii Office of Community Services (OCS), administratively attached to the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations (DLIR). - Notice purpose: This is an information-gathering request, not a request for proposals. OCS plans to use feedback to develop separate future solicitations for Hawaii, Maui, and Kauai counties and the City and County of Honolulu. - Prospective services: Culturally competent outreach; intake, eligibility screening, and needs assessments; interpretation and translation; referrals and coordination with community services; information and acculturation; individualized case management; and immigration assistance, including eligible naturalization and replacement-document assistance. - Notable requirements and requested feedback: Each center is expected to offer weekday availability, maintain at least three functioning internet-connected computers, and provide an acculturation curriculum. OCS seeks input on community needs, service priorities, eligibility, staffing, island-specific needs, target communities, and outreach. - OEMs and vendors: No OEMs or service vendors are named; no products or part numbers are specified. - Contract outlook: Services are anticipated for approximately one year, subject to funding availability.
