The County of Orange is establishing a Regional Cooperative Agreement (RCA) for CPR, BLS, First Aid, and Stop the Bleed® training services to meet the training needs of its 22 departments and 18,000+ employees. The RCA will serve as the County’s primary contract vehicle, enabling departments to issue subordinate contracts for agency-specific training requirements.

This RCA is structured to accommodate varying training formats (online, in-person, and hybrid), class sizes, and language needs across departments. While the County is the lead agency, the awarded Contractor must support the subordinate contracting model and comply with County requirements, including pricing transparency, certification standards, and reporting.

Although this is not a cooperative contract in itself, subordinate contracts may be issued to external agencies through the RCA structure, provided the Contractor agrees to the County’s standard indemnification and reporting clauses, including a 2% administrative rebate on qualifying non-County sales, managed via Pavilion.

The propose schedule below is subject to change. Any changes to the schedule for the RFP process will be issued to all Respondents via addenda on the County's eProcurement Portal. eProcurement Portal
