Consignment Auction Services

The State of Oregon's Department of Administrative Services, Procurement Services (DAS PS) is seeking a qualified provider to deliver Consignment Auction Services for its Surplus Division, specifically focused on auctioneering services for surplus property throughout Oregon. The primary procurement targets firms capable of conducting firearms and other surplus property auctions, with strict qualification requirements including holding a valid Federal Firearms License, maintaining membership in good standing with the National Auctioneer Association, and being a full-time professional auctioneer. The Request for Proposal (RFP) requires detailed submissions outlining pricing structures, including percentage rates per item and additional fees, with proposals due by August 12, 2021 at 2:00 PM PST. Evaluation criteria will assess proposers' qualifications, experience, and pricing, with the contract to be awarded to the highest-ranked responsible proposer. The initial contract term is anticipated to be two years, with potential mutual extensions, and the successful vendor will be responsible for managing consignment auction services for surplus state property.

The RFP does not specify any specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. No incumbent vendors are explicitly mentioned in the documents. The procurement appears open to qualified professional auctioneering firms that can meet the specified requirements, with a focus on comprehensive auction services for surplus state property. While specific award values are not detailed, the contract will be funded through the Department of Administrative Services Surplus Property Program. Proposers will be required to demonstrate responsibility through documentation including insurance certificates, tax forms, and professional certifications prior to contract award. The procurement approach suggests flexibility in pricing and service delivery, with the state seeking a comprehensive and professional auction management solution for its surplus property across Marion County and potentially other Oregon jurisdictions.
