AE Related Svcs Contract for PSOB DHS Space Planning Study

The Oregon Department of Human Services (DHS) is seeking architectural and engineering (AE) related services for a space planning study focused on the Public Safety Occupational Building (PSOB). This procurement appears to be a professional services contract targeting comprehensive spatial assessment and strategic planning for a specific departmental facility. While specific details are limited in the provided information, the contract opportunity suggests a comprehensive architectural and engineering analysis to evaluate current space utilization, potential redesign requirements, and infrastructure optimization for the DHS facility. The solicitation was posted on October 14, 2025, with proposals due by October 20, 2025, indicating a relatively compressed timeline for response preparation. Potential respondents should anticipate preparing a detailed technical proposal that demonstrates expertise in governmental space planning, facility assessment, and strategic infrastructure design. Firms interested in this opportunity will likely need to showcase prior experience with public sector facilities, comprehensive spatial analysis capabilities, and a deep understanding of DHS operational requirements.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types. Without additional context, it remains unclear whether this procurement includes preferences for disadvantaged business enterprises, minority-owned businesses, or small business concerns. The current documentation provides no insight into potential award values, budget ranges, or existing incumbent vendors for this space planning study. Respondents should carefully review the full solicitation documentation to understand any potential integration requirements with existing DHS infrastructure or technology systems. Given the specialized nature of the project—a space planning study for a public safety occupational building—firms with demonstrated experience in governmental facilities, particularly those with prior work in safety and administrative environments, will likely be most competitive. Potential bidders should prepare comprehensive proposals that highlight technical capabilities, relevant past performance, and a clear understanding of the DHS's spatial planning objectives.
