Request For Information - Non Web Based Solution for Electronic Verification Visit

The Oregon Department of Human Services' Office of Developmental Disabilities Services (ODDS) has issued a Request for Information (RFI) #S-10000-00002702 seeking a non-web-based Electronic Visit Verification (EVV) solution for Personal Support Workers (PSWs) operating in areas with limited internet or cell service. The primary objective is to develop a time tracking solution that complies with the federal 21st Century CURES Act, enabling PSWs to accurately capture and electronically transmit service delivery data to the state. Specific data requirements include tracking service type, individual receiving services, date, location of clock-in and clock-out, and worker identification. The RFI requires respondents to detail their proposed approach for meeting CURES Act requirements, demonstrating capabilities for data verification and electronic transmission. Respondents must describe their solution's functionality in environments with minimal technological infrastructure and provide insights into their cost structure. The RFI response deadline is May 31, 2022, at 3:00 PM, with responses to be used for planning and potential future procurement purposes.

The RFI does not explicitly outline set-aside designations or specific restrictions on responding organizations. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the procurement appears open to technology vendors capable of developing a robust, offline data capture and transmission solution for healthcare service tracking. The document indicates that ODDS may subsequently issue a formal Request for Proposals (RFP) or directly negotiate with potential providers based on the RFI responses. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the documents, suggesting that the current phase is purely informational. Respondents are required to complete supplementary documentation, including a Respondent Information and Certification Sheet and a Disclosure Exemption Affidavit, which allows companies to claim certain response information as exempt from public disclosure under Oregon's Public Records Law. The ultimate goal is to identify a technological solution that ensures comprehensive service verification for PSWs operating in challenging technological environments.
