Description
The Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) is issuing a Request for Applications to create an Alternate Independent Living Program (ILP) Provider List for youth in or exiting foster care across all state districts. Providers submit a single certification form (Attachment A) to be placed on the list for up to five years; contracts are awarded later when a specific district need arises. The solicitation does not include a pre‑bid conference, site visit, or detailed pricing, but a budget attachment outlines a total program ceiling of roughly $2.67 million annually.
• Applicant must complete and submit Attachment A via the OregonBuys portal; no additional documentation is required for listing.
• The list covers 17 districts (statewide), and once listed a provider may be invited to negotiate a contract for delivering ILP services (group workshops, one‑on‑one skill building, leadership activities, etc.).
• Key compliance requirements include non‑discrimination policies, insurance coverage, background checks, and, for contracts > $500 k with > 50 employees, a Pay‑Equity Certificate.
