2024. 066 LOI Evidence Based Health Promotion: Partnering to Provide Education for Older Adults

Washington County Disability, Aging and Veteran Services is seeking a partner or partners to provide evidence-based health promotion classes for older adults through a Request for Proposals (RFP). The solicitation seeks organizations capable of delivering in-person or virtual health education programs, including specific classes such as Living Well with Chronic Conditions, Living Well With Chronic Pain, Diabetes Self-Management Program, and Tomando Control de Su Salud. Each class must be structured as a 2.5-hour session meeting weekly for six consecutive weeks. The Oregon Wellness Network will provide training and certification for staff to teach these classes, though respondents may alternatively utilize their own pre-trained and certified instructors. Interested parties are required to submit proposals through the Washington County procurement portal (www.washcopurch.com/biz) by the submission deadline of June 14, 2024. The RFP indicates that the full solicitation details, including specific evaluation criteria and proposal requirements, are available on the county's procurement website.

While the RFP does not explicitly outline set-aside designations or specify restrictions on responding organizations, it appears to be an open solicitation for qualified health education providers. The document does not provide details on incumbent vendors, specific budget allocations, or potential contract values. No information is presented regarding disadvantaged enterprise participation or specific organizational requirements beyond the capability to deliver evidence-based health promotion classes for older adults. Potential respondents are advised to carefully review the full solicitation on the Washington County procurement portal to understand the complete scope of requirements, potential funding, and submission guidelines. The procurement appears focused on establishing partnerships to provide critical health education services to aging populations within Washington County, Oregon.
