About this opportunity

Written by GovTribe AI ·

The Oregon Department of Administrative Services Procurement Services (DAS PS) is preparing to conduct a formal Request for Proposal (RFP) for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging (DEIB) consulting services on behalf of Oregon state agencies and authorized purchasers. The procurement will focus on securing multiple price agreements for comprehensive DEIB consulting, training, facilitation, and strategic planning services. An industry forum scheduled for February 5, 2024, will precede the formal RFP process, allowing potential vendors to engage with state representatives, share service capabilities, discuss pricing structures, and provide feedback on the upcoming solicitation. Interested suppliers are required to complete an "Intent to Participate" form, which includes providing their firm name, primary contact, number of attendees, and any relevant questions or discussion topics. The forum will be facilitated by a panel of 5-7 members representing different state agencies and will provide an opportunity for vendors to understand the specific DEIB challenges faced by Oregon's governmental organizations.

While the documentation does not explicitly outline set-aside designations or specific vendor restrictions, the industry forum suggests an open and collaborative approach to vendor engagement. The procurement appears designed to create multiple price agreements, indicating that several vendors may be selected to provide DEIB services. No specific incumbent vendors are mentioned in the available documentation, and no precise budget ranges or award values are detailed. The procurement seems structured to support Marion County and other Oregon state agencies in obtaining flexible, customizable DEIB consulting services. The intent appears to be creating a diverse pool of qualified vendors capable of addressing complex organizational diversity and inclusion challenges across various governmental entities. Potential respondents should be prepared to demonstrate expertise in strategic DEIB consulting, training methodologies, facilitation skills, and the ability to develop tailored approaches for governmental organizations.
