Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing and Hunting Suicide Prevention Helpline.

Oregon State University intends to contract for the provision of an Agriculture, Forestry, Fishing and Hunting Suicide Prevention Helpline from AgriSafe Network as a sole source based on the uniqueness (design, capability, nature) of the goods and/or services. The Helpline must be available 24/7 by call or text, and needs to be accessed in multiple
languages with the help of interpreters. AgriStress Helpline staff complete 300 hours of professional development, including an overview of state-specific agricultural contexts, and ongoing quarterly training in agricultural stress topics. AgriStress Helpline staff are aware of state- or regional-level agricultural events that may impact call volume, for example a disaster, community tragedy, or reports of yields that may impact financial well-being. Staff knowledge of state-specific data on agricultural issues allows responders to better understand what agriculture community callers/texters are struggling with. AgriSafe offers tailored support to a population that is vulnerable to suicide, and offers 24/7 crisis and referral and can be accessed in up to 160 languages with the help of interpreters. An entity may appeal this determination in accordance with OSU Standard 03-010. Section 5.17 no later than the closing date indicated on the website. Appeals must be submitted to Procurement, Contracts and Materials Management at procurement@oregonstate.edu by 2/21/2025 at 1:30 pm PST. For additional information please contact Cassandra Hurd by email at cassandra.hurd@oregonstate.edu or by telephone at (541) 737-3059.
