The Oregon Department of Human Services' (ODHS) Office of Developmental Disabilities Services (ODDS) and its Stabilization and Crisis Unit (SACU) are issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) for one or more contractors to provide Fee-for-Service Representative Payee Services. The services are for beneficiaries of Social Security benefits, Supplemental Security Income benefits, Veterans Administration benefits, Tribal benefits, or earned wages and other sources of income who experience intellectual and/or developmental disabilities and live in homes operated by ODDS SACU in Lane County and the City of Eugene. The initial contract term is 24 months with options to renew up to 6 years, and the not-to-exceed amount for the initial contract period is estimated to be $150,000. Proposals are due by December 17, 2021 at 3:00 PM Pacific Time. ODHS may award multiple contracts from this RFP.

The RFP requires proposers to be authorized by the Social Security Administration (SSA) as a Qualified Organizational Representative Payee. Proposals will be evaluated based on criteria including the proposer's experience, qualifications, capacity, and price. The RFP includes a Certified Disadvantaged Business Outreach Plan requirement, but does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The RFP also does not provide information on any incumbent contractors or current infrastructure.
