About this file

The document is a Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) response related to a Request for Information (RFI) issued by the Oregon Housing and Community Services (OHCS) Department for a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system. The RFI seeks to gather information on various software capabilities such as report generation, data analysis, customer portal, case management, and workflow management. The software must be compatible with Microsoft Office, SharePoint Online, and grant management solutions, and provide 24/7 customer support and training materials. While the RFI does not include a demonstration portion, if it results in a Request for Proposal (RFP), demonstrations will be included in that process. OHCS anticipates 15 to 30 initial users for the system, and the agency is accepting questions until the RFI due date of October 18, 2024. The agency estimates a procurement timeframe of 12 months or less, but the anticipated contract value is unknown at this time as the RFI is intended to assist in assessing the contract value.

OHCS does not currently have a vendor providing these services, so this would be a new investment for the agency. The RFI does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, but the Affidavit of Trade Secret suggests that vendors may be able to protect certain information in their submissions from public disclosure if it meets the criteria for trade secret status. The RFI does not provide any details on the existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration, nor does it mention any award values or budget ranges.
