About this file
The document is a Controlling Board request from the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities (DODD) seeking approval for a single-source contract waiver with Elsevier Inc., located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The request is for fiscal year 2026, with a Controlling Board number of DDD0105235, and was approved for a meeting on 6/16/2025.
The contract is for $469,772.00 to provide online professional development training through Elsevier's Direct Course, an online training curriculum designed for direct support professionals (DSPs) in Ohio. The training includes 367 hours of interactive, competency-based courses that will help DSPs meet the additional 60 hours of training required by the Competency-Based Training and Longevity Add-on. The training will be provided at no cost to DSPs, with the goal of improving care outcomes and preventing worker injury. DODD plans to continue this single-source contract as the most cost-effective option while simultaneously working with the Department of Administrative Services to transition to a new statewide Learning Management System in the future.

Explanation Elsevier offers Direct Course, which is an online training curriculum, specifically designed to educate and empower direct care providers and frontline supervisors. Direct Course has a catalog of 367 hours of online, interactive, competency-based training. Elsevier's catalog provides a variety of options to support the additional 60 hours of training DSPs need to meet the requirement of the Competency-Based Training and Longevity Add-on required in Ohio.
Under the renewal contract, this training will continue to be provided at no cost to any DSP in Ohio, with the intent of offering consistent training to provide better care and prevent worker injury.
DODD is requesting to continue this single source contract with Elsevier in FY26 as the most cost-effective and time efficient option.
