ARMORED TRANSPORT SERVICES - Request for Information (RFI)

The Oregon Department of Administrative Services (DAS) Procurement Services Office is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) for Armored Transport Services, targeting state agencies and Oregon Cooperative Procurement Program (ORCPP) participants, including Marion County and the City of Salem. This market research effort seeks to identify companies capable of providing armored transport services on both route-based and on-call bases within Oregon. The RFI aims to gather comprehensive information about potential service providers, including their current operational presence in the state, service capabilities, and willingness to establish a local headquarters. Respondents are expected to detail their specific armored transport service offerings and their relationships with financial institutions that have depositories or accept branch deposits in Oregon. The RFI is scheduled with a response deadline of February 15, 2024, and is being conducted through the OregonBuys procurement website. Interested vendors must ensure their OregonBuys vendor profile is current to receive potential future competitive opportunity notifications. This is explicitly a market research exercise and not a proposal submission opportunity, with any subsequent competitive procurement to be posted on OregonBuys.

The RFI does not specify any specific set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or restrictions on organizational respondents. No incumbent vendors or existing contract details are disclosed in the documentation. The procurement does not provide information about potential contract value, budget ranges, or specific funding sources. No existing technological infrastructure integration requirements are outlined in the current documentation. The RFI is structured to broadly assess market capacity and interest in providing armored transport services across Oregon, with a focus on understanding the landscape of potential service providers. Future competitive opportunities will be fully detailed in subsequent Request for Proposal (RFP) documents to be posted on OregonBuys. Vendors are encouraged to carefully review the RFI documents and prepare comprehensive responses that demonstrate their capabilities in armored transport services for potential future procurement processes.
