CAT6 Network Cabling Services for DEQ's Coos Bay Regional Office

The Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has issued a Request for Quote (RFQ) #DEQ-1344-18 for Cat6 network cabling services at its Coos Bay Regional Office, located in Coos County. The procurement specifically seeks a contractor to install and terminate 5 Cat6 network drops, with services needed as soon as possible. The RFQ was posted on December 4, 2023, with proposals due by December 13, 2023. Evaluation criteria include responsiveness, vendor responsibility, and lowest price, with the contract to be awarded to the bidder meeting these requirements. Bidders are required to complete the Cost Submittal Form, detailing the total cost for services at the Coos Bay location. The scope of work involves precise network cabling installation, which implies that vendors must have professional expertise in network infrastructure and Cat6 cabling standards. All costs associated with preparing and submitting a proposal will be the responsibility of the bidder, with no reimbursement from DEQ.

The RFQ encourages participation from minority, women, and emerging small business enterprises registered with the Certification Office of Business Inclusion and Diversity (COBID), suggesting potential preference or set-aside considerations for these business categories. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated in the documents, the procurement appears to be for a localized, specific network infrastructure project. No incumbent vendors are mentioned in the available documentation. The contract appears to be focused on upgrading or expanding network infrastructure at the DEQ's Coos Bay Regional Office, which suggests potential integration requirements with existing network systems. Vendors responding to this RFQ should be prepared to demonstrate technical capability in network cabling installation, familiarity with Cat6 standards, and the ability to complete the project efficiently. The procurement is geographically limited to the Coos Bay location, which may impact the pool of potential bidders.
