Background Screening

This state and local contract opportunity, identified by ID 67ab3da9b46c02355c070fe4, involves background screening services for Mt. Hood Community College (MHCC) located in Multnomah County and Gladstone City, Oregon. The procurement is a sole source procurement for Castle Branch, a background screening service provider. The contract term is three years, with a total estimated value of $100,000. The procurement requires interested parties to submit any protests by 4:00 PM on February 17th, 2025, through certified mail and in-person delivery to MHCC's Purchasing Agent. Protests must include a detailed statement of legal and factual grounds, a description of potential harm, requested relief, and be signed by an authorized representative. The background screening services appear to be comprehensive, covering human resources screening needs for the educational institution. Potential vendors must carefully review the sole source notice and understand the specific protest requirements.

The procurement does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. While the sole source notice indicates Castle Branch as the intended vendor, the document leaves open the possibility of protest from other potential service providers. The contract's estimated value of $100,000 over three years suggests a moderate-scale procurement focused on ongoing background screening services. No specific infrastructure integration requirements are detailed in the available documentation. The procurement appears to be focused on securing a consistent, reliable background screening service for Mt. Hood Community College's human resources operations. Interested parties should carefully review the full sole source procurement notice and be prepared to submit a comprehensive, legally grounded protest if they believe the sole source designation is inappropriate.
