About this opportunity

The Oregon Department of Human Services, Office of Developmental Disabilities Services (ODDS) is conducting an Intermediate Procurement through OregonBuys (Bid #S-10000-00011266) to secure a vendor for administering a stipend program involving the purchase and distribution of stored value cards. The primary objective is to compensate and incentivize individual and family member participation in ODDS events throughout Oregon. The successful vendor will be responsible for developing a comprehensive process that includes requesting stipends, reviewing and tracking eligible participants, purchasing and distributing stored value cards, and maintaining detailed recipient records. Evaluation criteria will focus on the vendor's ability to efficiently manage the administrative aspects of the stipend distribution. The initial contract term is anticipated to be two years, with potential renewals up to a maximum of five years. Proposals are due on October 18, 2024, with award notification expected within 30 days of the proposal opening. The procurement requires detailed submission of various attachments, including a Proposer Information and Certification sheet, Responsibility Inquiry, and Disclosure Exemption Affidavit.

The procurement emphasizes participation of certified disadvantaged businesses, specifically encouraging minority-owned, woman-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, and emerging small businesses. Proposers must submit a Certified Disadvantaged Business Outreach Plan detailing their strategy for soliciting and potentially subcontracting with these certified firms. While the exact award value is not explicitly stated, the sample contract indicates a maximum, not-to-exceed compensation amount that will be negotiated between ODDS and the successful proposer. The program is relatively new, with historical data showing monthly distribution volumes ranging from 9 to 38 gift cards. Proposers must demonstrate capability to handle administrative expenses associated with the stipend program, with the actual value and quantity of stored value cards to be determined separately by ODDS. The procurement documents suggest flexibility in vendor selection, with a focus on operational capability, compliance with state regulations, and commitment to inclusive business practices.
