Electrical Wiring Harnesses

The Oregon Department of Administrative Services, Procurement Services (DAS PS) is issuing a Request for Proposals (RFP) on behalf of the Oregon State Police (OSP) for Electrical Wiring Harnesses. The procurement seeks a contractor to supply customized electrical wiring harnesses for OSP's fleet of 1,400 emergency law enforcement vehicles, specifically requiring 27-circuit, 15-circuit, and 8-circuit harness configurations. The RFP requires proposers to provide detailed pricing, including item numbers, minimum order quantities, per-harness costs, customization fees, and potential bulk order discounts. The initial contract term is anticipated to be six years, with potential extensions up to a total of twelve years. Proposals will be evaluated primarily on the lowest total cost for the three electrical wiring harness models, with the submission deadline set for Friday, August 18, 2023, at 4:00 PM Pacific Time. Proposers must complete multiple attachments demonstrating their capability, including a proposer information sheet, reference form, price proposal, and responsibility inquiry documentation.

The RFP demonstrates a strong commitment to business diversity and inclusion, requiring proposers to provide information about subcontracting opportunities for certified disadvantaged businesses. These include minority-owned, woman-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, and emerging small businesses. Proposers must indicate if they are a certified firm, list past contractual relationships with certified firms, and describe steps to solicit certified firms for potential subcontracting. The opportunity covers jurisdictions including Marion County and applies reciprocal preferences per Oregon administrative rules. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the contract will support OSP's extensive vehicle fleet and requires comprehensive insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, and excess/umbrella insurance. The State of Oregon reserves the right to conduct additional competition rounds and potentially award less than the full scope of work, providing flexibility in the procurement process.
