NOI Structured Juniper April 2025.pdf

This is a Notice of Intent to Purchase issued by Clean Water Services, a district member of the National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) and Oregon Cooperative Procurement Partnership (ORCPP), announcing its intention to procure network equipment through a permissive cooperative procurement. Clean Water Services intends to purchase Juniper network equipment, extended hardware warranty, and Juniper Mist management software from Structured Communications Systems, Inc., an authorized Juniper dealer, to replace aging equipment and build out the district's networks. The total purchase value is $88,198.43, which will bring the district's cumulative purchases under the Juniper contract to exceed $250,000. The procurement is conducted under NASPO's Request for Proposal Solicitation No. SK18001 and made available through State of Oregon Price Agreement No. 1606. Prospective vendors have until April 18, 2025, to submit written comments regarding the district's intent to purchase from Juniper to Kris Duffe, Procurement Specialist, at 2550 SW Hillsboro Highway, Hillsboro, Oregon 97123.

The purchase is being made through an established cooperative procurement agreement with Juniper Networks, (US) Inc., as the contract award holder under the NASPO solicitation. This permissive cooperative procurement mechanism allows Clean Water Services to leverage the competitive procurement conducted by NASPO on behalf of ORCPP member organizations, providing pricing and terms already negotiated through the state price agreement.
