Health Prof. Service Program (HPSP)

The State of Oregon Department of Administrative Services (DAS) is seeking a single contractor to provide a comprehensive statewide monitoring program for licensed health professionals through the Health Professionals Services Program (HPSP). The program targets healthcare professionals from multiple licensing boards, including the Oregon Medical Board, Dental Board, Board of Nursing, and Board of Pharmacy, who have been referred or self-referred for substance use disorders, mental health disorders, or dual diagnoses. Key deliverables include enrolling and monitoring licensees, coordinating toxicology testing, managing compliance reporting, providing educational materials and training, and maintaining communication with licensing boards. The contractor must operate a robust monitoring system with specific performance criteria, including toxicology testing Monday through Saturday and achieving minimum success rates between 85-100% for various program components. The RFP was posted on January 27, 2025, with proposals due by February 28, 2025, and a pre-proposal conference scheduled for February 4, 2025. Evaluation criteria will include administrative activities (80 points), value-added services, sample pricing for licensees (5 preference points), and proposed cost-sharing methods. The initial contract term is four years, with potential renewals, beginning July 1, 2025.

The procurement encourages participation from Certified Firms through the Oregon Certification Office for Business Inclusion and Diversity (COBID), specifically targeting minority-owned, woman-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, and emerging small businesses. Proposers must complete a COBID Outreach Plan detailing their certification status and plans for including certified firms in subcontracting opportunities. The current incumbent vendor is Integrated Behavioral Health, though no specific details about their infrastructure are available for the new contractor to utilize. The RFP requires proposers to have been in business for at least 5 years and demonstrate experience with similar monitoring programs. While no specific budget is disclosed, the contract will involve multiple professional boards signing individual work order contracts with the selected vendor. Proposers must meet extensive technical requirements, including maintaining a website with specific capabilities and ability to implement the program within 30 days of award. The Master Services Agreement allows for price increases capped at 4% annually after the initial fiscal years, with strict requirements for service delivery, including mandatory U.S.-based staffing and data management.
