Request for Applications (RFA) for Ticket to Work (TTW) Program

The contract invites entities to apply for participation in the Ticket to Work and Self-Sufficiency Program administered by the Social Security Administration, in accordance with 20 CFR Part 411, aimed at helping beneficiaries achieve employment and financial independence. Interested organizations must respond to Request for Applications S-10000-00016057 issued by the Oregon Department of Human Services Vocational Rehabilitation agency, with submissions accepted through December 31, 2035. The program seeks service providers who can deliver employment support services to Social Security disability beneficiaries across the state of Oregon, with performance expected throughout the entire state without geographic restriction within Oregon. Applications are to be submitted through the Oregon state procurement portal, and inquiries should be directed to Louie Thomas, who serves as both the primary point of contact and purchaser. There is no set-aside designation or NAICS code specified, and the opportunity is open to state, local, and educational entities eligible to deliver vocational rehabilitation under federal TTW guidelines. The long window for responses suggests a continuous or rolling application process, with awards likely to be made on an ongoing basis until funding is allocated or program goals are met. Successful applicants will be integrated into the federal TTW network to expand access to employment services for beneficiaries in Oregon.
