— (1/31/2014) DC RSA just posted its RFP seeking Vendors for our once-every-3-years Needs Assessment. If you can suggest any vendors and/or rate your experience of vendors, I would like to hear your experience or direct the vendors to the attached link for more info: http://app.ocp.dc.gov/pdf/DCJM-2014-R-0011_MR1.pdf. The RFP will be posted until January 31.

From Michael Shoemaker, Utah State Office of Rehabilitation:

For the last two cycles (2010 and 2013) we have contracted with the Center for Public Policy and Administration at the University of Utah. The primary investigator on these contracts is Dr. Cathy Chambless who worked previously as a Rehabilitation Counselor, has instructed courses in Rehabilitation Counseling through the Rehabilitation Counseling Program at the University of Utah and has more than 30 years experience in the field of Vocational Rehabilitation. We have been pleased with our experience of working with Cathy and her team on this and several other projects. If we had to rate on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being the best I think we could rate this research group overall as an 8. Also, there is another experienced vendor that I am aware of that I can speak with you about if your interested. My phone number is (801)887-9395 and my email address is mtshoemaker@utah.gov.
