This is a Public Notice of Cooperative Procurement issued by the Beaverton School District Purchasing Department in Oregon. The notice announces the district's election to utilize the OMNIA Partners, Region 4 Education Service Center Cooperative Contract for the purchase of Band Instruments and Related Services from Music & Arts. The estimated procurement amount is $975,000. The Purchasing Department established a protest deadline of February 16, 2023, for affected persons to challenge this determination. Written protests must comply with Oregon Administrative Rule 137-046-0470 and Oregon Revised Statutes 279B.400 through 279B.425, and must include detailed statements of legal and factual grounds, descriptions of resulting harm, and relief requested. Protests may be submitted via email to Contracts@beaverton.k12.or.us or hand-delivered to the Administration Center at 1260 NW Waterhouse Ave, Beaverton, Oregon 97006, with late submissions not accepted.

The cooperative procurement authority is derived from OAR 137-046-0400. The notice does not specify separate pricing terms, set-asides, or renewal options. This procurement represents the district's decision to leverage an existing cooperative contract framework rather than conduct an independent procurement process, thereby streamlining the acquisition of band instruments and related services for school use.
