COBID NOTICE ONLY** Finance Consulting Services

The Oregon Department of Consumer and Business Services (DCBS), specifically the Universal Health Plan Governance Board, is seeking Healthcare Finance and Revenue Consulting Services to develop a comprehensive financing plan for a universal health plan as mandated by Senate Bill 1089. The primary objective is to provide expertise in revenue and taxation modeling to support the transition from an employer-based health system to a tax-funded universal health plan. Key deliverables include ongoing taxation policy consultation through July 2025, revenue modeling and analysis, tax modeling reports due in late 2025, and monthly board meeting attendance. The project requires a consultant with deep expertise in healthcare finance, capable of analyzing current healthcare spending by employers, state/local government, and individuals. Interested parties must submit quotes by 2:00 PM PT on February 26, 2025, via email to the procurement contact, Franie Wilkins. The initial procurement process through OregonBuys yielded no responses, and a subsequent informal quote process resulted in only ECOnorthwest responding to the solicitation.

This procurement opportunity is specifically targeted toward COBID (Certification Office for Business Inclusion and Diversity) certified businesses, with a focus on minority-owned, woman-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, and emerging small businesses. While the state currently intends to award the contract to ECOnorthwest, they are providing an opportunity for other COBID-certified businesses to submit competitive quotes. The contract includes comprehensive insurance requirements, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability ($1M per occurrence/$2M aggregate), automobile liability ($500K), and professional liability ($2M per claim/$4M aggregate). The project term extends through project completion, with specific milestones outlined through December 2025. Although the exact contract value is redacted, the contract will be structured with hourly rates for services rendered, based on detailed monthly invoices. Potential respondents must review the sample contract and submit the required COBID Quote Form, with any questions directed to the procurement contact at the provided contact information.
