This is a Notice of Intent to Participate document from the State of Oregon's Department of Administrative Services regarding participation in a cooperative procurement led by the State of Utah on behalf of the National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) ValuePoint for Office Furniture and Related Services (RFP CT22-79). The procurement seeks to establish Master Agreements across multiple office furniture categories including Office Seating, Lounge and Public Seating, Desks and Tables, Panel Systems, Storage, and Architectural Products. The State of Oregon intends to enter into Participating Addenda with up to four highest-ranked proposers in each product category. The initial notice was posted on March 24, 2022, with a response deadline of April 8, 2022, for the intent to participate. The Master Agreements will have a five-year term and will provide a framework for participating entities to acquire office furniture and related services through standardized contracts.

Eligible purchasing entities include state governments, institutions of higher education, political subdivisions, and other authorized entities subject to approval by individual state procurement directors, as well as members of the Oregon Cooperative Purchasing Program (ORCPP). The procurement allows for flexible contractor selection, potentially including three highest-ranked national-level proposers and three highest-ranked Oregon-specific proposers. No specific set-aside designations are mentioned in the documentation. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the cooperative nature of the procurement across multiple jurisdictions suggests potential for significant aggregate purchasing power. The Master Agreements are designed to provide cost savings and streamlined procurement processes for participating organizations through standardized contracts and comprehensive coverage across optional service categories.
