NOrth River Boats Notice.pdf

This is a Notice of Intent to Purchase issued by an Oregon state or local agency for the acquisition of Law Enforcement Patrol Style Boats from North River Boats using the Sourcewell Contract #092525-NRB. The notice outlines the agency's intention to procure these specialized watercraft through an existing cooperative purchasing agreement, which streamlines the procurement process by leveraging Sourcewell's pre-negotiated contract terms. The purchase leverages an established cooperative contract rather than conducting a competitive bid process, allowing the agency to expedite procurement while maintaining pricing and terms vetted through Sourcewell's competitive selection process.

The acquisition utilizes Sourcewell Contract #092525-NRB, a cooperative purchasing vehicle that has already established pricing, specifications, and terms with North River Boats as the approved vendor. This approach eliminates the need for individual competitive solicitations and allows the purchasing agency to directly order the required patrol boats under pre-established contract conditions. By utilizing this cooperative agreement, the agency benefits from volume pricing and standardized terms negotiated at the consortium level, while North River Boats retains the opportunity to fulfill orders across Sourcewell's member agencies.
