Dane County Department of Human Services is undergoing its annual Request for Proposals (RFP) process. The Department of Human Services releases the bulk of its yearly RFPs—termed “on-cycle”—in the spring. In late March, we posted a number of RFPs, and we will continue to post these on-cycle RFPs through April. Additionally, the Department releases “off-cycle” RFPs throughout the calendar year. A number of these off-cycle RFPs are listed at the end of this document.
