Amd 2 to SP 1299-21 (Extension of Green Janitorial PAs)

The Oregon Department of Administrative Services, Procurement Services (DAS PS) is conducting a special procurement for an extension of Price Agreements (PAs) for environmentally preferable ("green") janitorial supplies, industrial paper products, and equipment. This procurement supports State agencies, Oregon Cooperative Procurement Program (ORCPP) members, Washington State agencies, and the Washington State Purchasing Cooperative (WSPC). The current PAs, originally established in 2013, are being extended through June 30, 2025, to allow the Commonwealth of Kentucky, as the new Lead State, to complete a new procurement process. The primary objective is to maintain uninterrupted access to environmentally preferable janitorial products for authorized purchasers, including Marion County and the City of Salem. The extension is being processed through a special procurement procedure, with a public notice period allowing affected parties seven calendar days to file protests. The due date for this opportunity is April 24, 2024, and the procurement supports Governor Brown's priority of "Responsible Environmental Stewardship" by ensuring continued access to green janitorial supplies.

The procurement does not specify specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. No incumbent vendors are explicitly listed in the documentation. The total estimated cost for the one-year extension period is $5,000,000, bringing the collective total estimated cost to $20,000,000. The extension will allow time for the new procurement process to be completed without interrupting access to these environmental products. While no specific vendor qualifications are detailed, the procurement suggests a focus on suppliers of environmentally preferable janitorial supplies and industrial paper products. The opportunity is not a traditional bid or proposal solicitation, but rather a notice of an approved special procurement amendment. Authorized purchasers will continue to have access to these products through the extended Price Agreements, with the primary goal of maintaining a seamless supply of green janitorial products and equipment for government and cooperative purchasing entities.
