Federal appropriated funds to pay any person or organization for influencing or
attempting to influence an officer or employee of any agency, a member of
Congress, officer or employee of Congress, or an employee of a member of
Congress in connection with obtaining any Federal contract, grant, or any other
award covered by 31 U.S.C. § 1352. Each tier shall also disclose any lobbying

enterprises, and labor surplus area firms are used whenever possible:

enterprises on solicitation lists;
ii. Assuring that small and minority businesses, and women's business enterprises
are solicited whenever they are potential sources;

quantities to permit maximum participation by small and minority businesses,
and women's business enterprises;
iv. Establishing delivery schedules, where the requirement permits, which
encourage participation by small and minority Businesses, and women's
business enterprises;

Small Business Administration and the Minority Business Development Agency
of the Department of Commerce; and
vi. Requiring the prime contractor, if subcontracts are to be let, to take the
affirmative steps listed in paragraphs(i). through v. of this subparagraph.
b. The requirement outlined in subparagraph a. above, sometimes referred to as
"socioeconomic contracting," does not impose an obligation to set aside either the
solicitation or award of a contract to these types of firms. Rather, the requirement only
imposes an obligation to carry out and document the six affirmative steps identified above.
c. The "socioeconomic contracting" requirement outlines the affirmative steps that the
Subrecipient must take; the requirements do not preclude the Subrecipient from
undertaking additional steps to involve small and minority businesses and women's
business enterprises.
d. The requirement to divide total requirements, when economically feasible, into smaller
tasks or quantities to permit maximum participation by small and minority businesses, and
women's business enterprises, does not authorize the Subrecipient to break a single
project down into smaller components in order to circumvent the micro-purchase or small
purchase thresholds so as to utilize streamlined acquisition procedures (e.g. "project
splitting").

MONROE COUNTY BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
CARES ACT FUNDING - FOOD PROVIDER NEEDS/CAPACITY SURVEY
Monroe County has recognized food insecurity as a critical need in our community as a result of COVID-19
pandemic, and as such will allocate CARES Act funding to help meet that needs.
Your organization has been identified as a food provider within Monroe County. The intention of this survey
is to assess the community's increased food needs arising from the COVID-19 pandemic and related closures
and restrictions, as well as your organization's recent experience providing food services during the pandemic,
and capacity to provide food services through the months of October, November and December with CARES
Act grant funding.
All CARES Act grant funds must be fully 100% expended by December 30, 2020. No exceptions. Further, the
need is now and urgent, and our expectation will be that organizations that receive funding will be able to
immediately provide services and expend funds expeditiously. So please accurately assess your organizational
capacity.
The County will evaluate the following information and make a determination for an allocation of CARES Act
funding. This survey is not an agreement for funding.

9) BRIEF NARRATIVE DESCRIPTION OF YOUR ORGANIZATION'S EXPERIENCE WITH
THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC'S IMPACT ON FOOD SECURITY NEEDS IN OUR
COMMUNITY AND/OR IN THE GEOGRAPHIC AREA SERVED BY YOUR
ORGANIZATION:
FKHSC serves pregnant women,infants,children ages 0-5 and their families.During COVID-19 we have become the go-to agency
for food support for this population,primarily baby food,formula,and special needs for pregnant women.Working in partnership with the
other food support agencies(pantries and distribution sites including but not limited to SOS,KAIR,FKOC,and several local churches)
and serving as the experts on maternal and child health and nutrition in our community,we have been the agency providing this population
with formula support,breastfeeding support,and nutrition for women with complicated pregnancies or babies/toddlers with special needs.
Formula can be very expensive and babies should not"switch"to whatever is available--which makes it very difficult for pantries to stock
the variety of formulas on the market.We also provide medical grade breast pumps,breastfeeding kits,breastfeeding education,
breastfeeding support groups,and lactation support in an effort to improve access to infant nutrition that is readily available(with proper
support).Our increases in infant nutrition and breastfeeding assistance have quadrupled since March.Families also turn to us for referrals
to food banks,distribution events,and pantries.We have launched several supportive initiatives such as transportation,delivery of baby
supplies and items such as diapers,wipes,car seats,and strollers,in order to allow families'available resources to go to other bills and
needs.Our staff has strong partnerships with WIC and helps enroll our clients in that program,however WIC only covers three weeks of
assistance and FKHSC often serves as the payer of last resort for the 4th week of the month.

19) PLEASE ADD ANY FURTHER INFORMATION YOU WOULD LIKE FOR US TO KNOW
HERE:
We currently have 16 medical grade breast pumps that are checked out by clients---all 16 are always in use.Since they are medical grade,
there is no risk of infection transmission. Each pump is$800 and comes with four kits(4 @$50).The ability to purchase additional breast
pumps would significantly decrease the need for formula and baby food assistance.Due to the fact the each baby has specific formula needs,
oftentimes prescribed by a doctor,we are unable to buy in bulk or"by pound/pallet"in order to meet the unique nutritional needs.
Additional pumps,supplies,and as-needed specialty formulas will address food insecurity for our new and growing families in the Keys.
