Current Narrative:
In Idaho, the state Workforce Development Council also operates as the local workforce board for the state as allowed by waiver in the approved 2016-2019 WIOA State Plan and authorized in WIOA Sec. 107(c)(4). Thusly, the Workforce Development Council is responsible for the selection of Title IB providers, including the competitive procurement of the One-Stop Operator. The Workforce Development Council adopted a policy on the selection of service providers on April 11, 2019.
As a state entity, the Workforce Development Council must follow state procurement policy as authorized by the Uniform Guidelines under 2 CFR 200.320. The State Procurement Act in Idaho Code Title 67, Chapter 92 charges the Administrator of the Division of Purchasing with acquiring all property for state agencies and overseeing all solicitations. Solicitations are required to be competitive, except as otherwise provided by statute or rule.
