About this opportunity

The Oregon Business Development Department (Business Oregon) is seeking loan referral services for the Oregon Royalty Fund (ORF) loan program through a Request for Qualifications (RFQ) issued on January 21, 2025, with proposals being accepted through February 1, 2030. The procurement targets non-depository, Oregon-based economic development entities to identify and refer eligible loan applicants to the ORF program. Contractors will be responsible for promoting and marketing the loan program, identifying prospective loan candidates, submitting referrals that meet ORF program requirements, and leveraging private equity sources. Key deliverables include completing a detailed referral form for potential borrowers, providing comprehensive business information, and supporting the economic development process. The RFQ requires proposers to be established for at least 24 months, submit three professional references, and complete various certification documents including a Proposer Information and Certification sheet. Evaluation will likely focus on the proposer's experience in economic development, ability to identify and refer suitable loan candidates, and compliance with state requirements.

The contract is restricted to Oregon-based economic development entities, including for-profit, non-profit, and governmental organizations with operating offices in the state. No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned in the documents. Contractors will be compensated through a loan referral fee structure of 0.75% per successful loan, with a maximum of $7,500 per loan and a total contract cap of $600,000 over the five-year term. The contract includes options for renewal for an additional five years and requires contractors to maintain various insurance coverages, including workers' compensation, professional liability ($500,000), general liability ($1,000,000), and automobile liability ($500,000). Business Oregon anticipates awarding multiple contracts, with payment contingent upon successful loan closing and borrower payment of applicable fees. The program is designed to support small business expansion through strategic loan referrals and economic development support.
