2025. 022-LOI Transitional Emergency Medical Services Coordination and Quality Improvement

Washington County, Oregon's Health and Human Services Department is seeking a qualified contractor to provide temporary transitional emergency medical services (EMS) coordination and quality improvement services. The Letter of Interest (LOI) solicits proposals for a 4-6 month contract to deliver complex technical consulting services focused on analyzing and improving the Washington County Emergency Medical System (WCEMS). The selected contractor will be required to perform comprehensive qualitative and quantitative analysis of sensitive system data from multiple sources including 9-1-1 transport franchisees, communication centers, fire agencies, hospital care providers, vital statistics, and patient medical records. Key project dates include a project release on March 5, 2025, with questions due by March 11, 2025 at 2:00pm, and proposal submissions due by March 13, 2025 at 2:00pm, with a mandatory contract start date of April 4, 2025. The primary objectives include developing, analyzing, and refining clinical and operational aspects of emergency ambulance transport services, with an emphasis on technical expertise and system improvement.

The solicitation does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types. Washington County Purchasing Rule 10-120(3) indicates that if only one proposer submits a letter of intent, the County reserves the right to negotiate directly with that responder and potentially bypass the standard RFP process. No incumbent vendors or specific integration requirements are mentioned in the available documentation. The procurement is structured as a competitive solicitation through the Washington County Purchasing portal, with interested parties directed to www.washcopurch.com/biz for comprehensive details. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the temporary nature of the contract (4-6 months) suggests a short-term, potentially specialized consulting engagement focused on EMS system optimization. Interested parties should carefully review the full solicitation documents and be prepared to demonstrate advanced technical capabilities in emergency medical systems analysis and improvement.
