Armored Transport Services

The State of Oregon's Department of Administrative Services (DAS) Procurement Services is seeking proposals for Armored Transport Services through RFP S-10700-00013102, targeting state agencies and cooperative procurement participants across four geographic regions of Oregon. The procurement aims to establish price agreements for secure pick-up, transportation, and deposit of cash, monetary instruments, and valuable items, with services required in Western (Portland, Salem, Eugene), West Central (The Dalles, Bend), East Central (Pendleton), and Eastern (Enterprise, Baker) regions. Proposers must demonstrate at least five years of experience in armored transport, ability to obtain proper licensure, and capability to establish a cash vault facility in Oregon within 90 days of contract execution. The evaluation will be comprehensive, utilizing a 525-point system that assesses compliance with security provider regulations, deposit pickup protocols, cash vault access procedures, personnel screening, and issue resolution processes. Key deliverables include various pickup frequencies (daily, weekly, weekend, on-call), coin and currency exchange services, and maintenance of strict security protocols. The proposal is due on May 15, 2025, at 4:00 PM Pacific Time, with an anticipated three-year contract term and potential 12-month extensions.

The state explicitly encourages participation from small, minority-owned, woman-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, and emerging small businesses, demonstrating a commitment to diversity and inclusion in procurement. Proposers must meet extensive qualification requirements, including providing comprehensive insurance coverages, maintaining appropriate resources, and possessing a clean legal and financial history. The contract will include a 2% Vendor Collected Administrative Fee (VCAF) on gross total sales, with rate adjustments tied to the Producer Price Index for Security Guards and Patrol Services. While no specific budget range is definitively stated, the procurement covers services for state agencies, ORCPP participants, and CUA participants, suggesting a potentially significant contract value. Proposers must provide detailed documentation including a Responsibility Inquiry, Rate Proposal Form, Disclosure Exemption Affidavit, and Key Persons documentation, with the state reserving the right to conduct thorough responsibility assessments before contract award. The solicitation maintains flexibility by not guaranteeing minimum or maximum work volumes, allowing for adaptive service deployment across Oregon's governmental entities.
