The Massachusetts Office for Refugees and Immigrants (ORI) is soliciting proposals for the Skill Training for Employment Pathways (STEP) Program under solicitation BD-27-1078-ORI1A-ORI-132460. This initiative aims to provide vocational skills training and integrated support services to refugees and work-authorized immigrants through a collaborative partnership model. The program focuses on cohort-based, career-specific training pathways that lead to certifications or licensure in high-demand industries. The initial contract period is scheduled from September 30, 2026, to June 30, 2027, with ORI anticipating total awards up to $450,000 and individual contract awards typically ranging from $50,000 to $150,000. Proposals must be submitted electronically via COMMBUYS by 5:00 pm on September 11, 2026. Required submission materials include a bidder's cover page, a detailed training log, proposed performance measures for SFY27, a line-item budget with narrative, and a Supplier Diversity Plan. Bidders must also provide 501(c)(3) non-profit status documentation and complete the EOHHS Fiscal Year 2027 Prequalification Package if not already prequalified. Award decisions will be based on the best overall value, with a strong emphasis on the proposed training cost, the number of individuals served, the quality of the curriculum, and the bidder's track record in serving refugee and immigrant populations. Preference is given to cost-effective collaborative models and those with experience working with ORR-funded programs.
