Washington County Health and Human Services, Behavioral Health Division, is seeking sponsorships from behavioral health service organizations to host public events from July 1, 2027 through June 30, 2032, with proposals due October 9, 2026 and contractor selection scheduled for October 16, 2026.

Eligible organizations must serve uninsured and underinsured Washington County residents, maintain service locations within Washington County, and demonstrate a minimum of two years of experience working with individuals with mental health and/or substance use disorders. All required certifications under Oregon Administrative Rules apply. The scope includes hosting annual events designed to increase community awareness of behavioral health services and resources, secure funding for program expansion, develop organizational partnerships, celebrate achievements, and provide community education. All activities and events require prior county approval before fund release.

Insurance requirements are comprehensive: General Liability ($500,000), Worker's Compensation, Automobile Liability with additional insured endorsement ($1 million/$2 million), Professional Liability ($1 million/$3 million), Cyber-Security Insurance, and Sexual Abuse & Molestation Liability ($3 million when serving vulnerable populations).

Contracts are structured as annual agreements with options to renew for up to five years, contingent upon annual approval of provider proposals and availability of funds. Washington County Behavioral Health provides annual funding, but the county does not guarantee equal funding among providers and reserves the right to conduct a formal Request for Proposal process post-Letter of Interest. Questions are due October 8, 2026 at 5:00 p.m.; responses must be submitted electronically via the Washington County procurement portal by October 9, 2026 at 4:00 p.m.
