Key deliverables include developing curriculum, program checksheets, course syllabi, documentation for program approvals, assessment methods, rollout schedules, and staffing evaluations.

The RFP includes provisions for minority, women, and emerging small business enterprises (MWESB), with bidders required to complete a tax laws and non-discrimination certification form. Potential respondents must certify their compliance with Oregon tax laws and indicate their business designation, which can include Corporation, Partnership, Sole Proprietorship, Governmental/Non-Profit, Limited Partnership, Limited Liability Partnership, or Limited Liability Company. The procurement allows for MWESB certification in categories such as Emerging Small Business (ESB), Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), Women Business Enterprise (WBE), Service-Disabled Veteran (SDV), and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE/ACDBE).
