Sole Source - Funeral Home

Mt. Hood Community College's Funeral Service Program is pursuing a sole source procurement with Johnson Funeral Home for specialized mortuary services in Multnomah County, Oregon. The procurement is specifically designed to secure a funeral home willing to obtain client family authorization for deceased body donations to the college's embalming program. This unique procurement requires the funeral home to actively engage with families to secure consent for body donations, which is critical for the educational program's operational needs. The sole source procurement was posted on April 27, 2023, with a submission deadline of May 4, 2023 at 4:00 PM. Any potential protests to this sole source procurement must be delivered in person to the specified address by the stated deadline. The procurement process is limited to Multnomah County and focuses on securing a partner who can facilitate body donations for educational purposes.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The contract is exclusively with Johnson Funeral Home, which is positioned as the only funeral home willing to meet the program's unique requirements for client family engagement and body donation authorization. While the attached document indicates a total estimated contract value of approximately $75,000 over five years, no specific funding source or additional financial details are provided. The procurement does not outline integration requirements with existing infrastructure or technology, nor does it specify qualifications beyond the funeral home's willingness to assist in obtaining family authorizations. The sole source nature of the procurement suggests that Johnson Funeral Home is uniquely positioned to meet Mt. Hood Community College's specific programmatic needs for the Funeral Service Program.
