Branded promotional products

Mt. Hood Community College is seeking competitive bids for branded promotional products through a procurement process aimed at selecting multiple vendors for a 36-month contract with potential renewal options. The college requires various branded items including lanyards, t-shirts, hooded sweatshirts, drawstring bags, ballpoint pens, sunglasses, water bottles, umbrellas, and removable sticker decals. Bid submissions are due by 5 p.m. on May 5, 2022, with vendors required to submit a one-page cover letter detailing their qualifications. The evaluation criteria for vendor selection will be comprehensive, with 25% allocated to pricing, 60% to experience, and 15% to sample quality. Vendors must provide detailed pricing on the attached bid sheets, with quantities ranging from 300 to 5,000 units per item type. The college will award the contract to bidders providing the best overall value based on the stated evaluation criteria, reserving the right to determine the lowest responsible bidder for each specific item.

The procurement appears to be open to all qualified vendors without explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the provided documentation, the multi-year contract structure suggests a potentially significant procurement value across multiple promotional product categories. The contract includes flexibility for Mt. Hood Community College, with the option to renew the agreement for up to two consecutive one-year periods after the initial 36-month term. Vendors will need to demonstrate comprehensive capabilities in producing high-quality branded promotional materials across various product types. The procurement is specific to Multnomah County, Oregon, and targeted at supporting Mt. Hood Community College's branding and promotional needs. No incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure requirements were explicitly mentioned in the bid request documentation.
