CVSSD Accessibility Request For Quote

The Oregon Department of Justice (DOJ), specifically the Crime Victims and Survivor Services Division (CVSSD), is seeking qualified proposers to provide comprehensive accessibility services through a Request for Quotation (RFQ). The procurement focuses on plain language editing and accessibility remediation of public-facing documents, including services for Microsoft Word and PDF formats. Required services encompass plain language editing, creation of accessible document templates, PDF conversion and tagging, and technical accessibility testing and reporting. Proposers must demonstrate experience providing similar services within the past 24 months and possess a thorough understanding of accessibility standards. Key evaluation criteria will include price, experience, expertise, and the ability to meet technical requirements, with a specific requirement that proposers be a certified DHS Trusted Tester for Section 508 compliance. The RFQ was posted on November 17, 2022, with proposals due by December 5, 2022, and an anticipated contract period of 24 months with potential extension options.

The RFQ does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types. No incumbent vendors are identified in the documentation. The contract appears to be open to qualified vendors who can demonstrate technical proficiency in document accessibility services. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the DOJ plans to expend funds for these services over the 24-month contract period. The procurement suggests a flexible, performance-based approach to contracting, with the primary focus on technical capability and cost-effectiveness in delivering accessibility remediation services. Proposers will be expected to provide detailed cost proposals based on word, page, or document count, allowing for scalable and potentially ongoing engagement with the Oregon Department of Justice.
