RFP 6124 Addendum 2.pdf

This is Addendum #2 to RFP 6124, issued by the Oregon Department of Human Services and Oregon Health Authority on August 1, 2025, regarding the procurement of Agency with Choice Services. The addendum amends the original RFP by providing a revised Attachment B, which has been uploaded to the OregonBuys portal for bidder access. The original RFP solicits qualified contractors to provide Agency with Choice services, a self-directed service delivery model for older adults, individuals with physical disabilities, and those with behavioral health conditions. The state intends to award up to four contracts with a maximum of two successful proposers. Proposals are due August 25, 2025, at 9 AM PST, with an anticipated initial contract term of two years and potential renewals extending to a cumulative maximum of five years.

The procurement establishes a fully loaded Medicaid reimbursable hourly rate of $42.12 per hour for Direct Support Workers, with a mandatory requirement that at least 85% of the total hourly rate be allocated to DSW compensation, including wages, benefits, and insurance, leaving a maximum 15% administrative fee cap. Additional compensation includes $0.70 per mile for mileage reimbursement and a 3-hour annual assessment fee per individual. The state strongly encourages participation from diverse business enterprises, including small businesses, minority-owned businesses, woman-owned businesses, service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, and emerging small businesses certified by the Oregon Certification Office for Business Inclusion and Diversity. Contractors must comply with pay equity requirements for contracts exceeding $500,000 or involving 50 or more full-time workers and House Bill 4129 labor relations requirements. Points of contact for the procurement are Stephanie Morgan and Geoffrey Nowak at stephanie.b.morgan@odhsoha.oregon.gov and geoffrey.nowak@odhsoha.oregon.gov.
