LWIBs may serve as one-stop operators, however, they must still participate in the competition to be the one-stop operator and meet the mandatory requirements in 20 CFR 678.605(c) and 678.615(a).

  1. LWIBs may not deem themselves as the one-stop operator due to lack of bids received.
  2. As stated above, the eligibility of the one-stop operator is affected by the nature of the process, particularly as it relates to conflict of interest and avoiding “less-than arms-length” relationships. 
  3. One way to avoid a conflict of interest is for the LWIB to contract with a separate and independent outside entity to conduct the competition.
    1. Outsourcing the entire process (including development of requirements, drafting the Request for Proposal (RFP) or Information for Bid (IFB), evaluation of proposals/bids, and identification of the best proposer) to an alternate entity would be the best practice in this circumstance to avoid a conflict of interest. 
    2. If the outcome of the competitive process is the selection of the LWIB itself as the one-stop operator, the Governor and the Chief Elected Official (CEO) must agree to the selection of the LWIB. 
      1. LWIBs must submit the Request for Approval – LWIB to Serve as the One-Stop Operator to obtain the Governor’s approval.
