2026. 039-LOI Tow Dispatch for the Washington County Sheriff's Office

Washington County, Oregon is issuing a Letter of Interest (LOI) for tow dispatch services to support the Washington County Sheriff's Office in compliance with Oregon's non-preference tow program as defined in OAR 257-050-0020. The procurement seeks a qualified contractor to provide tow dispatching services for the Sheriff's Office operations. The LOI process requires prospective proposers to submit a letter indicating their interest in performing the work or responding to a subsequent Request for Proposal (RFP) by the submission deadline of April 23, 2026 at 2:00 PM. Interested parties must submit questions regarding the solicitation by April 21, 2026 at 5:00 PM. Inquiries should be directed to Danielle Howard, Procurement Analyst II, at (503) 846-8757 or danielle_howard@washingtoncountyor.gov. The County will use the responses to the LOI to determine the level of interest and competition for the work. Per Washington County Rules of Procurement 10.120(3), if only one interested respondent submits a Letter of Interest, the County reserves the right to negotiate a contract directly with that respondent and may forego the RFP process entirely.

The solicitation documents do not specify set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, incumbent vendors, or current contractors for this tow dispatch service opportunity. No information regarding existing infrastructure, technology integration requirements, or specific award values and budget ranges has been disclosed in the available documentation. Interested vendors are directed to the Washington County Solicitation portal at www.washcopurch.com/biz for complete solicitation details and to submit their response to the Letter of Interest. The County reserves the right to streamline the procurement process if limited competition is demonstrated through the LOI submissions, allowing for direct negotiation with a single qualified respondent should circumstances warrant such action.
