Anticipated Procurement Opportunities

hands raised

The intent of this page is to provide those interested in doing business with DCF a list of procurements DCF anticipates in the near future, allowing them time to plan. Please use the “Sign Up” feature below to be notified when new opportunities are listed.

DCF does not guarantee any opportunity shown will result in a procurement being issued. The estimated posting timeframe shown is subject to change. No further notification will be sent when the procurement is issued. When an actual procurement is issued, DCF will use either:

  • DCF Grant Applications Opportunities is managed by DCF and provides a listing of current DCF grant application opportunities.
  • eSupplier is managed by the State of Wisconsin Department of Administration. DCF encourages completing the registration on eSupplier. By doing so, you will begin to receive automatic emails when DCF, and other State of Wisconsin agencies, release procurements matching the goods/services used during your registration. Registration on eSupplier is available free of charge.

All questions regarding this site or an opportunity listed should be direct to DCF Procurement staff only.

The Wisconsin Department of Children and Families (DCF) Division of Early Care and Education (DECE) is awarding funding to reimburse entities for costs associated with participation in Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library (DPIL).  DPIL is a national reading program that launched nearly 30 years ago and focuses on expanding access to high-quality books and fostering a love of reading among young children and their families. The program gifts high-quality books to children ages birth to five, with books mailed directly to participating families each month. The family bears no cost for participating and there are no family income requirements. Per information gathered on the DPIL website, over 35,000 children in Wisconsin currently receive books.

DPIL partners with local affiliates to operate the program. Local affiliates are responsible for advertising the program and enrolling eligible children and families within their designated geographic area. Affiliate organizations cover the cost of books, which currently cost $26.00 per year per child. DPIL mails the books directly to the families and negotiates the wholesale price of books and manages the fulfillment process.
