Health Department Promotions Campaigns, Graphic Design, PSA/Commercial filming, script development

Multnomah County Health Department (MCHD) is conducting a Request for Programmatic Qualifications (RFPQ) to establish a diverse pool of communications partners across its divisions, including Public Health, Behavioral Health, Corrections Health, and Integrated Clinical Services. The procurement seeks qualified agencies, community organizations, and individuals to support seven primary service categories: communications strategy development, social media content and digital advertising, traditional media advertising, visual asset creation, video and film production, culturally specific communications and outreach, and research and evaluation. Proposers must demonstrate capability to develop health promotion campaigns, create graphic design materials, produce public service announcements and commercials, and develop scripts that advance health equity for Multnomah County residents. The solicitation opened on March 4, 2022, at 8:00 AM PST and will close on April 18, 2022, at 4:00 PM PDT, with two optional pre-proposal virtual meetings held on March 15 and March 29, 2022. Evaluation criteria will likely focus on organizations' demonstrated ability to create culturally responsive communication strategies that effectively reach diverse populations, particularly communities of color and low-income residents.

The MCHD emphasizes equity in its procurement, potentially giving preference to proposers that can demonstrate robust experience working with historically underserved communities. While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed, the solicitation suggests a strong interest in diverse and culturally competent communication partners. Contract terms will range from one to five years, with qualifying organizations remaining in the candidate pool for five years. Payment structures may include cost reimbursement, unit rate, or fixed price models, depending on the specific scope of work and funding source. Insurance requirements include $1,000,000 in professional and commercial general liability coverage, with workers' compensation also mandatory. The procurement is potentially funded through various sources, including potential CDC Health Equity Grant funds. While specific budget ranges are not provided, the comprehensive nature of the solicitation suggests a significant investment in communication and outreach services across multiple health department divisions.
