Mental Health Services

The Oregon Health Authority (OHA) is seeking a mental health services provider for Oregon State Hospital (OSH) personnel located in Salem and Junction City. The Request for Proposals (RFP) solicits a contractor to establish comprehensive mental health and emotional support services for hospital staff, including approximately 150 licensed mental health professionals, 170 licensed nurses, and 800 unlicensed mental health technicians. The scope of work requires creating wellness opportunities, developing support materials, and providing both on-site and telehealth services with 24/7 access. Proposers must meet specific minimum qualifications related to business operations, key personnel credentials, and appropriate licensing. The RFP requires detailed proposals addressing staff support strategies, with submissions due on October 20, 2022, and an anticipated contract award date of November 1, 2022. The contract term is expected to extend up to 5 years, with OHA planning to award the contract to the highest-ranked responsive and responsible proposer willing to perform services at negotiated rates.

The solicitation covers jurisdictions including Marion County, Lane County, Juntura CDP, and Salem City, with two potential vendors already identified through the evaluation process: Invicta Services Group, LLC (highest-ranked) and TrueCare24, Inc. (second-highest ranked). While no specific set-aside designations were explicitly mentioned, the RFP indicates a competitive selection process with a seven-calendar day intent to award protest period. The current service utilization is estimated at 10-15 hours per week, with no dedicated office space provided, though counseling spaces are available as needed. Although specific budget ranges were not disclosed, the comprehensive nature of the services and the broad staff coverage suggest a significant contract value. The OHA will initiate contract negotiations with the top-ranked proposer, Invicta Services Group, LLC, pending the resolution of the protest period and successful contract terms agreement.
