Marion County, Oregon is conducting a special procurement (HE1686-25) for Non-OHP Community Developmental Disabilities Program Services, specifically targeting room and board services for individuals with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities who are not Medicaid eligible due to undocumented status but are working towards United States citizenship. The procurement will be released on August 14, 2025, with responses due by August 21, 2025, at 3:00 PM through the Marion County Procurement Collaboration Portal. The contract duration is set for 5 years, focusing on Service ID Code DD156: Room and Board, with R&B General Funds allocated to pay for invoiceable services based on individual approved Plans of Care. Marion County Health and Human Services will directly contract with homes licensed by the Oregon Health Authority (OHA) and approved by MCHHS to deliver services to individuals with developmental disabilities. The procurement serves Marion County's population of 347,818 in the Mid-Willamette Valley, with MCHHS acting as the designated Community Developmental Disabilities Program (CDDP) responsible for planning and delivering services to eligible individuals.

The procurement appears to be specifically targeted to licensed homes approved by OHA, with no explicit mention of set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Potential respondents must create an account on the procurement portal at least 15-30 minutes before submission, following a specific process that includes registering as a respondent, viewing documents, submitting questions, and uploading response documents. While specific financial details are not explicitly outlined, the procurement will involve funding through an Intergovernmental Agreement with the Oregon Health Authority, with services funded by general funds allocated on a per-individual basis according to approved care plans. The procurement is uniquely focused on serving individuals with developmental disabilities who are not typically eligible for Medicaid, indicating a specialized and targeted approach to community support services. Interested providers will need to demonstrate compliance with OHA licensing requirements and the ability to provide room and board services consistent with ODHS guidelines for this specific population.
