Public Notice of Intent to Award a Sole Source Contract

The Eugene School District 4J in Oregon is issuing a public notice of intent to award a sole source contract to OSLC Developments, Inc. for specialized clinical and evidence-based interventions targeting teenagers with substance use and co-occurring mental health challenges. The procurement is specifically focused on two distinct programs: Adolescent & Family Services (AFS) and White Bird's Helping Out Our Teens in Schools (HOOTS), which will provide direct on-site mental health support in secondary schools. AFS will utilize a Contingency Management approach for substance use counseling, incorporating advanced therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. The HOOTS program will offer a weekly confidential crisis clinic featuring a crisis worker and EMT, delivering short-term counseling, crisis intervention, basic first aid, and community referrals. The public notice was posted on October 1, 2025, with a response deadline of October 8, 2025, and is being conducted under ORS 279B.075 and Eugene School District 4J Board Policy DJCA. The district's rationale for this sole source contract emphasizes the unique in-school service model that alternative community programs cannot replicate.

The sole source contract does not appear to have specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations based on the provided documentation. The contract is directly targeted at OSLC Developments, Inc., which suggests a limited competitive procurement process. The total contract value is $100,000.00, which will cover the implementation of the AFS and HOOTS programs within the school district. The procurement specifically focuses on organizations with demonstrated expertise in adolescent mental health and substance use interventions, with a preference for providers capable of delivering direct, on-site support services. While no incumbent vendor details are explicitly mentioned beyond OSLC Developments, Inc., the document indicates a continuation of existing service relationships. The contract appears designed to maintain continuity of critical mental health support services for secondary school students, with a clear emphasis on evidence-based, integrated intervention strategies.
