Strategic Planning and Process Improvement

The Oregon Department of State Lands (DSL) is seeking strategic planning and process improvement consulting services through a Request for Quotation (RFQ) released on December 9, 2025. The primary objective is to develop and update the agency's five-year Strategic Plan, with completion and implementation targeted by July 1, 2027. Key deliverables include refreshing the agency's vision, mission, and values, conducting a strategic outcomes analysis using PESTLE and SWOT methodologies, establishing measurable goals and objectives, and developing comprehensive strategies with implementation timelines. The consultant must create resource allocation reports addressing financial, human, and technological needs, and develop monitoring and evaluation processes with automated tracking tools. Contractors are required to demonstrate a minimum of three years of specific experience with state agency strategic planning and show expertise in integrating Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) strategies. Proposals must be submitted to Michelle Johnson, Contracts Officer, by December 29, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. PST, and must include key personnel resumes, a detailed methodology, and a not-to-exceed pricing proposal that covers all costs and travel expenses.

The RFQ indicates DSL intends to enter into multi-award contracts with an initial one-year term and potential for renewal. While no specific set-aside designations are mentioned, the procurement emphasizes the importance of integrating DEI strategies and aligning with Governor's Office priorities. The project will be primarily conducted in Salem at DSL offices, with meetings facilitated through Microsoft Teams. Contractors must be prepared to participate in interviews and provide service presentations if requested. The contract administrator for the project is Sharon Domaschofsky. Pricing must be held firm for 30 days and submitted as a comprehensive not-to-exceed amount. Although specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the strategic planning and process improvement services suggests a substantial scope of work that would require significant consulting expertise.
