26-088 RFQ ABAWD Mobile Vans Videos

The Oregon Employment Department (OED) Procurement Services has issued Request for Quotation (RFQ) 26-088 for the production of six educational videos promoting the Mobile WorkSource Oregon Centers, a mobile van initiative designed to deliver employment services and benefits support to underserved communities throughout the state. The procurement solicits vendor quotes for the complete development and production of multilingual video content in six languages: English, Spanish, Russian, Vietnamese, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese. Each video must showcase the mobile vans in operation at community locations, explain available services including job search support, resume assistance, career coaching, training referrals, apprenticeships, and connections to partner programs such as SNAP Employment and Training, Veterans services, and Vocational Rehabilitation, and feature real examples demonstrating how the centers assist job seekers and families. The videos should be approximately four minutes in length and emphasize the accessibility and welcoming nature of the mobile centers, targeting populations facing geographic, cultural, or economic barriers to employment. All six videos must be completed and approved by June 30, 2026. Quotations must be submitted to Faith Coleman via the OregonBuys portal by April 21, 2026, with pricing remaining firm for 30 days following submission. The RFQ permits consideration of alternate brand products and proposals that meet or exceed specified requirements, provided vendors clearly mark any alternative proposals, with the agency retaining sole discretion to determine equivalency after bid closing.

The RFQ documentation does not identify set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise restrictions, or incumbent vendors. No existing infrastructure or technology requiring integration has been specified in the procurement materials. The project is subject to a maximum total cost ceiling of $40,000, establishing the budget range for the complete delivery of all six multilingual videos. Vendors must provide complete quotation information including federal identification numbers, contact details, and itemized pricing per unit and total project cost. The initiative is funded by USDA and positioned as part of the American Job Center Network, reflecting a federal and state collaborative effort to expand equitable access to workforce services for all Oregonians regardless of location or transportation limitations.
