About this file
This is a Notice of Intent to Award Contract issued by the City of Portland, Oregon's Office of Management & Finance for DNA Testing and Analysis Services (RFP #00002658). The City received four proposal responses on December 19, 2025, which were evaluated by a committee. An optional pre-bid meeting was conducted via Microsoft Teams on December 5, 2025, at 11:00 a.m. prior to the proposal submission deadline. DNA Labs International, located in Deerfield Beach, Florida, was identified as the highest-scoring proposer and will enter negotiations with the City to establish a contract. If negotiations with DNA Labs International fail, the City reserves the right to commence discussions with the second-highest scoring proposer. The City issued this notice on February 18, 2026, and established a seven-calendar-day protest period from the date of issuance for any interested parties to submit written objections to the procurement decision.
The evaluation committee scored four proposers across Phase 1, with DNA Labs International and Bode Pure Gold each receiving 457 points, followed by Othram at 427 points and Pure Gold at 304 points across five evaluators. Despite the tied scores between DNA Labs International and Bode Pure Gold, DNA Labs International was selected as the highest-scoring proposer to advance to contract negotiations. Written protests must be submitted to Sylvester Donelson, Jr., Chief Procurement Officer, and Paris McCall-Johnson, with specific grounds for protest outlined in accordance with ORS 279b.410. Additional details regarding contract pricing, set-asides, funding sources, and specific service requirements are not included in this notice; those details would be contained in the original RFP and the resulting contract agreement.
