Bid no. 267085 fire rated safety clothing

The State of Oregon is requesting bids for fire-rated safety clothing under Bid No. 267085, with proposals due September 9, 2026.

The bid manual outlines procedures, evaluation criteria, and submission requirements for qualified vendors to supply fire-rated safety apparel meeting state specifications. Specific item quantities, delivery schedules, and performance specifications are contained in the complete solicitation documents. The state will award the contract to the responsive and responsible bidder offering best value.

The associated goods agreement template establishes terms for an initial contract term with provisions for up to four additional one-year renewal options upon mutual written consent. The provider bears all transportation and handling charges on an F.O.B. destination basis. The provider must maintain commercial general liability insurance with combined single limits of not less than $2,000,000 per occurrence, naming the City of Salem as an additional insured. All goods must be new, fully warranted by the manufacturer, free from defects, and delivered with manufacturer warranties transferred to the City. The provider must comply with all applicable Oregon tax laws for a minimum of six years preceding the effective date and throughout the agreement term; tax law non-compliance constitutes material breach.

The City retains the right to inspect, test, and reject non-conforming goods. The City may terminate the agreement for any reason with thirty days' notice or for cause with fourteen days' notice if the breach is not cured within the cure period.

The solicitation addresses set-aside preferences such as minority-owned business enterprises or local vendor preferences as applicable under Oregon law. Bidders must carefully review the complete solicitation package and submit responsive proposals by the stated deadline to be considered for award.
