Legislative Education, Information and Tools Program Services

The Washington State developmental disabilities authority in Olympia, WA is seeking a contractor to support statewide advocacy for people with developmental disabilities and their families. The agency aims to strengthen community-led influence in public policy, protect individual rights, improve equitable access to services, and promote culturally responsive systems of support. To solve these challenges, the agency requires a comprehensive program of community outreach, legislative education, and digital tracking tools. The scope of work covers four main areas, starting with community outreach and equity. The contractor must develop and implement a statewide outreach strategy focused on underserved and underrepresented communities, build partnerships with community organizations, and track participation and satisfaction using culturally responsive methods. For legislative education, the contractor must create and maintain accessible educational materials about the community for legislators and policymakers. The third scope area requires the contractor to produce weekly bill and budget trackers during the legislative session, provide public updates on policy activity, and develop an annual data presentation with state agencies. Finally, the contractor must maintain a public-facing website featuring events, resources, and actionable advocacy items. The agency requires all website materials to be accessible and available in translated formats. Eligible bidders must perform all work onsite within the United States. The agency accepts digital proposal submissions via email or online portal. The agency has not disclosed a specific budget and is looking for proposals to define the financial terms.
