NOI SHI 26445089.pdf

This is a Notice of Intent to Purchase issued by Clean Water Services, an Oregon-based water district that is a member of the National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) cooperative purchasing program. The district intends to procure additional Windows Server DC Core Licenses through an interstate cooperative procurement arrangement. The solicitation was originally issued by the State of Utah, Division of Purchasing, in partnership with NASPO, under Request for Proposal Solicitation CH16012 for Cloud Solutions, which was awarded to SHI International Corporation (SHI). Clean Water Services will purchase the licenses directly from SHI as an authorized cooperative member. The notice was issued on August 7, 2025, with a comment deadline of August 14, 2025, allowing prospective vendors to submit written objections or comments regarding the district's intent to utilize this interstate cooperative procurement vehicle.

The total contract value for the Windows Server DC Core Licenses is $74,298.70. Prospective vendors wishing to comment on this procurement decision must submit written correspondence to Kris Duffe, Procurement Specialist, at DuffeK@cleanwaterservices.org by August 14, 2025. This procurement leverages an existing statewide contract that has already undergone competitive evaluation and award, allowing Clean Water Services to access negotiated pricing and terms through the cooperative purchasing program established by Utah and NASPO.
