Archery Equipment for National Archery in Schools Program

The State of Oregon, specifically the Department of Administrative Services Procurement Services (DAS PS) on behalf of the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW), is conducting an Invitation to Bid (ITB) for archery equipment to support the National Archery in Schools Program (NASP). The procurement targets core products including compound bows, arrows, targets, and maintenance kits, with optional additional equipment like bowracks and replacement parts. Jurisdictions involved include Marion County and the City of Salem. Bidders must submit comprehensive pricing for core and optional products, provide three references for comparable product deliveries within the past two years, and demonstrate bidder responsibility through a Responsibility Inquiry form. The ITB seeks to establish a Price Agreement with an initial 2-year contract term, with potential extensions up to a total of 10 years. Bids are due by March 29, 2022, with anticipated award and contract execution expected in early April 2022. Notably, the procurement requires specific brand name equipment mandated by NASP competition standards to ensure compatibility with existing school resources.

The procurement includes specific set-aside designations for Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE), Minority Business Enterprises (MBE), Women Business Enterprises (WBE), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses (SDV), and Emerging Small Businesses (ESB) certified by the Oregon Certification Office for Business Inclusion and Diversity (COBID). Bidders are required to submit a Certified Disadvantaged Business Outreach Plan detailing steps to solicit COBID-certified firms for potential subcontracting opportunities. The total estimated contract value is approximately $618,000 over the 10-year potential contract period. Federal funds may be utilized for purchases under the resulting Price Agreement, which requires bidders to accept applicable federal provisions. The contract will be awarded to the responsive and responsible bidder offering the most favorable pricing for core products. Bidders must also complete a Federal Debarment and Suspension Certification, confirming they are not presently excluded from participating in federal transactions. The procurement allows for potential price adjustments and substitutions of discontinued items, provided they meet or exceed the original specifications.
