Request for Applications: Weatherization Program Service Providers The Oklahoma Department of Commerce (ODOC) is requesting applications for Weatherization Program Service Providers. Background ODOC has been responsible for the administration of the Department of Energy Weatherization Assistance Program and the Oklahoma Department of Human Services Low Income Home Energy Assistance Weatherization Program since 1977. The Weatherization Assistance Program’s mission is to “reduce costs for low-income families, particularly for the elderly, people with disabilities, and children, by improving the energy efficiency of their homes while ensuring their health and safety.” ODOC currently contracts with 8 (eight) non-profit service providers to serve Oklahoma counties’ low-income eligible families with weatherization services in residential single-family units and mobile homes. All current Subgrantees and current Oklahoma service areas are illustrated on this map . In recent years, due to workforce capacity and increasing technical requirements, multiple counties in Oklahoma have been without weatherization services. ODOC, in collaboration with the current non-profit service providers (Subgrantees), developed a Weatherization Pathway Forward plan, to restructure the weatherization service areas and allocation formula in a more efficient way to better serve the service providers and Oklahoma families. ODOC is issuing this Request for Application (RFA) to procure qualified weatherization assistance program service providers to administer ODOC’s high quality weatherization services to low-income families according to the new weatherization regional service areas map for at least the next five years (January 1, 2023 – March 30, 2028).
