NOT USED BY DOR

Definitions of Service Providers

DOR uses a variety of service providers to help disabled individuals achieve independence and employment. While DOR is mandated to use Public and Private Not for Profit Agencies whenever possible, there are times when Private for Profit Agencies or Individual Service Providers may be used.

DEFINITIONS

Public or Private Not for Profit Agency - A Public Agency is directly funded by the government such as a school or other social service agency. A Private Not for Profit is an IRS and State of California approved Not For Profit organization.

Private For Profit Agency - A private licensed business, Private For Profit Agencies can be utilized when necessary services from Public or Private Not For Profit Agencies are not available or sufficient. Once approval has been granted from the Deputy Director for use, the requirements are the same as a Public or Private Not for Profit Agency.

Individual Service Providers (ISP) - A person that is not a part of any company or agency. Persons that are interested in serving clients directly as Individual Service Providers need to contact the local District Administrator to discuss the local service needs and approval process.
