OSPTR Ad Hoc Workgroup Public Meeting Notice

The Oregon Health Authority (OHA), Office of Contracts and Procurement, is announcing workgroup meetings to plan an upcoming Request for Grant Applications (RFGA) for opioid settlement funding, with an RFGA publication target of mid-October 2026 and a grant application due date of July 1, 2027. No set-asides or preference programs are stated.

The RFGA will fund programs in five priority areas: primary prevention, overdose prevention and risk reduction, treatment, recovery, and research and evaluation, plus related capital investments. The funding derives from opioid settlement proceeds under ORS 413.033. Applicants must register free with OregonBuys, the state procurement portal, to submit applications once the RFGA is published; the OHA will not answer RFGA questions until the solicitation appears in OregonBuys.

The Opioid Settlement Prevention, Treatment and Recovery Board (OSPTR Board) Ad Hoc Workgroup is conducting planning meetings to review RFGA design options, evaluate structural questions, and develop recommendations for Board consideration. Upcoming workgroup meetings are scheduled for July 14, 2026 and July 20, 2026, both 1:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. via Zoom. Past meeting materials — packets, recordings, and summaries from June 22 and July 8, 2026 — are available on the OSPTR Board Meetings Archive page. Statements made during workgroup meetings are not binding on the OHA.

Stephanie Morgan, Procurement Contract Specialist, serves as the Single Point of Contact at (971) 283-6279 or stephanie.b.morgan@odhsoha.oregon.gov. Materials are available in alternative formats, including other languages, large print, and braille, upon request.
