The Multnomah County Health Department (MCHD) is creating a pool of qualified agencies, community‑based organizations, and individuals to deliver a wide range of communications services that promote health and wellbeing across Multnomah County. The qualification event (RFPQ‑41‑2027) opens on 23 Oct 2026 and closes on 16 Dec 2026. Qualified vendors will be placed in a five‑year pool from which specific communications contracts (strategy, social‑media campaigns, traditional media buying, graphic design, video/film production, culturally specific outreach, and research/evaluation) may be awarded as funding becomes available. The solicitation emphasizes equity, cultural responsiveness, and environmental responsibility, and requires extensive narrative responses, certifications, and insurance coverage.
• Services include communications strategy, social‑media/digital advertising, print and traditional media buying, graphic design, video/film production, culturally specific outreach, and research/evaluation.
• Pre‑proposal virtual conference on 3 Nov 2026 (optional) provides clarification on submission requirements.
• No guaranteed funding; contracts will be awarded later based on MCHD needs, with terms ranging from 1‑5 years.
• Minimum qualifications include Oregon business registration, required insurance, and a 70 % scoring threshold.
• Emphasis on minority‑owned, women‑owned, emerging small businesses, and vendors with demonstrated experience serving diverse, low‑income populations.
