Oregon agencies continue authorization for Request for Applications service procurements

Oregon agencies are continuing authorization to use a Request for Applications process to procure a range of contracted services. - Government buyer: Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS), including its Office of Contracts and Procurement, in coordination with the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) and Oregon Home Care Commission (OHCC). - This is an informational notice about a special procurement method, not a request for proposals for a specific service contract. - The agencies may use RFAs to establish and maintain local, regional, or statewide provider networks, accept applications over extended periods, and qualify multiple providers. - Individual RFAs will be announced through OregonBuys and assessed against the requirements for each procurement. Oregon small-business vendors are to be included where possible. - Illustrative service areas from prior or potential RFAs include contracted attorneys, shelter, emergency feeding and bottled water, hygiene services, hospital-based intervention, disaster consulting, and lead-based-paint hazard remediation. These are examples, not a current order for those services. - The latest amendment estimates $12 million in additional spending and $22 million cumulatively under the special procurement. - No OEMs, commercial vendors, product models, part numbers, or product quantities are identified.
