Notice of Special Procurement - Amendment #2 to OHA Oregon Educators Benefit Board

The State of Oregon, through the Department of Administrative Services (DAS) and Oregon Health Authority (OHA), is seeking a special procurement amendment for the MyOEBB Benefit Management System (BMS) with Peraton (formerly Perspecta State and Local, Inc.). The procurement involves extending the existing contract through June 30, 2027, to provide continued maintenance, operational support, and system enhancements for benefit management services supporting approximately 150,000 actively employed or retired Oregon educators. Key deliverables include ongoing system maintenance, implementing legislatively mandated updates, supporting board decisions, addressing collective bargaining mandates, and accommodating new government group integrations. The procurement specifically aims to bridge the current system's operations until a new unified Ariel EAS Solution is implemented, anticipated to go live in Q2 2026. The special procurement notice provides a seven-calendar-day protest period for affected parties, with written protests to be submitted to the State Chief Procurement Officer. The submission deadline for this notice is May 26, 2025, with the contract amendment covering system support services through mid-2027.

The procurement does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The incumbent vendor, Peraton, will continue to provide services with a 3% resource rate increase effective July 1, 2025, with hourly rates ranging from $120.11 for junior resources to $239.47 for senior resources. The total estimated cost for this amendment period is $3,548,320, bringing the cumulative contract value to $16,979,965. The contract includes provisions for optional system enhancement work orders up to $400,000, with cost allocations covering annual maintenance and operational support. The system serves multiple state and local government entities, including the Oregon Educators Benefit Board (OEBB) and potentially the Public Employees Benefit Board (PEBB), indicating a broad governmental user base. The procurement represents a strategic continuation of an existing technology infrastructure, ensuring uninterrupted benefits management services for state employees while preparing for a future consolidated system solution.
