Sole Source for GetSetUp program to reduce social isolation and loneliness

The Oregon Department of Human Services, Aging and People with Disabilities division is procuring an online learning community platform offering classes by and for older adults with live phone support under a sole-source determination, with proposals due August 21, 2026. GetSetUp, Inc. is the sole identified source based on ORS 279B.075(2)(d).

The platform delivers statewide, unlimited access to educational classes created specifically for older adults, with technical support available 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Pacific Standard Time and aggregate analytics on consumer usage. The service integrates with GrandPad tablets currently provided to APD consumers, a compatibility requirement that factors into the sole-source justification.

The estimated contract value is $127,570 for a two-year initial term. The agency retains authority to amend the contract for an additional two-year period and increase the Not To Exceed amount. GetSetUp's sole-source qualification rests on its proven track record of programming valued by older adults, several years of governmental contracting experience with state Aging and Disability services agencies, and existing compatibility with the GrandPad ecosystem in use by APD consumers.

Protests to the sole-source designation must be submitted within seven calendar days after first posting (by August 21, 2026) via mail, fax, email, or hand delivery to Russell Brammer, ODHS Office of Contracts and Procurement. No pre-bid conference or site visit is referenced. The procurement authority is DHS OAR 125-247-0275, OAR 125-246-0170(2), and DAS Delegation 649-11, as amended.
