The Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS), acting on behalf of the Oregon Home Care Commission, is seeking a Request for Proposal (RFP 5199) for an online virtual platform providing Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and First-Aid training specifically for Home Health Care Workers (HCW). The procurement requires a comprehensive solution that includes an on-demand online CPR/First Aid training course, a virtual webinar course instructed by a certified CPR/First Aid instructor, and remote skill demonstration capabilities. Key deliverables must integrate with standard computer systems and mobile devices, meet state-approved security requirements, and provide administrative functions like student pre-authorization and reporting. Proposers must demonstrate minimum qualifications related to prior experience providing similar services and hold necessary certifications. The RFP timeline indicates that questions will be accepted until November 5, 2021, at 3:00 PM Pacific Time, with proposal submissions due on November 11, 2021, at 3:00 PM Pacific Time. Evaluation criteria will likely assess the proposer's ability to meet technical specifications, security requirements, training curriculum effectiveness, and overall solution comprehensiveness.

The RFP includes a Certified Disadvantaged Business Outreach Plan, requiring proposers to indicate if they are an Oregon certified minority-owned, woman-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, or emerging small business. Proposers must detail their subcontracting opportunities and willingness to report subcontractor identities to the Oregon Certification Office for Business Inclusion and Diversity (COBID). The contract anticipates an initial four-year term with potential renewal options, and ODHS has budgeted approximately $400,000 for the entire contract period. Proposers must comply with extensive security and privacy requirements, including specific protocols for network access, incident reporting, and data protection. Additional contract requirements include completing a Responsibility Inquiry demonstrating financial stability, material resources, personnel expertise, and legal standing. Vendors must also complete a Disclosure Exemption Affidavit and provide comprehensive cost proposal documentation detailing software, training curriculum, facilitation, maintenance, and support expenses.
