Electrical Wiring Harnesses

The Oregon Department of Administrative Services, Procurement Services is issuing Request for Proposals (RFP) No. S-10700-00007976 on behalf of the Oregon State Police to procure electrical wiring harnesses for their law enforcement vehicle fleet of 1,400 vehicles. The procurement seeks contractors capable of designing, building, and providing customizable electrical wiring harnesses in three circuit configurations: 27-circuit, 15-circuit, and 8-circuit. Key objectives include establishing a reliable supply chain that can accommodate changes in vehicle design, model year, and specific customization requirements. The RFP requires proposers to demonstrate the ability to provide high-quality wiring harnesses with detailed pricing, minimum order quantities, and potential volume discounts. Evaluation criteria will focus on total cost for the three electrical wiring harness models, with proposals due on October 2, 2023. The anticipated contract is a six-year price agreement with potential renewal options extending up to a cumulative twelve-year period. Proposers must submit comprehensive documentation including pricing proposals, reference forms, disclosure affidavits, and responsibility inquiries.

The RFP strongly encourages participation from certified disadvantaged business enterprises, specifically targeting minority-owned, women-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, and emerging small businesses. Proposers must submit an Outreach Plan detailing their strategies for engaging certified firms, including reporting the identity and value of any subcontracts to the Oregon Certification Office for Business Inclusion and Diversity (COBID). Vendors must certify compliance with various state requirements, including non-discrimination policies, wage parity, and prevention of sexual harassment. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the scope suggests a potentially significant contract value given the size of the Oregon State Police vehicle fleet. Proposers will be required to demonstrate appropriate financial, material, equipment, facility, and personnel resources to meet all contractual responsibilities. Additional requirements include providing insurance documentation, tax identification numbers, and disclosure of any relevant criminal, civil, or contract performance issues from the previous three to five years.
