RFGP Jackson County Mobile Dental Van Expansion

The Oregon Health Authority is offering a grant opportunity to expand mobile dental services in Jackson County, aiming to improve oral health access for underserved populations and reduce disparities. The program, funded with approximately $70,000, seeks proposals from organizations capable of deploying or enhancing mobile dental vans to provide preventive and comprehensive oral health care. The project emphasizes community engagement, workforce expansion, and sustainability beyond the grant period, which spans 24 months. Applicants must demonstrate organizational capacity, including effective management, collaboration with partners, and data collection capabilities, with evaluation criteria weighted heavily toward organizational capability. The process involves a competitive, best-value trade-off evaluation, focusing on technical merit rather than cost alone. The solicitation, posted under number S-44300-00015052, requires applicants to submit a comprehensive proposal via the OregonBuys platform by December 12, 2025. The submission must include a proposal information form and a project narrative limited to specific word and page counts. The contract will be a grant agreement with Oregon Health Authority, incorporating federal and state compliance requirements, including insurance, audit, and environmental standards. While detailed contract clauses, specific performance locations, and pricing structures are not explicitly outlined in the available documents, the award will be based on the strength of the applicant’s organizational capacity, clarity of the project plan, and potential for sustainable impact. The agreement will include provisions for subcontracting, audit rights, and dispute resolution, with all performance and acceptance activities overseen by OHA.
