IIRP Handbooks and Practice Guides

The High Desert Education Service District in Deschutes County, Oregon, is seeking to procure 200 copies each of three specific publications from the International Institute for Restorative Practices (IIRP): "Restorative Circles in Schools: A Practical Guide for Educators," "Restorative Justice Conferencing: Real Justice & The Conferencing Handbook," and "Restorative Practices Handbook." This procurement appears to be a sole source acquisition, as the documents explicitly state that these materials are only available directly through IIRP and cannot be obtained from other vendors. The key objectives of this procurement seem to focus on obtaining educational resources related to restorative practices for schools and justice settings. The published opportunity indicates a tight procurement timeline, with the initial posting on May 11, 2023, and responses due by May 17, 2023. A protest period is established, with any protests required to be submitted by May 18, 2023, at 12 PM to the High Desert Education Service District. The total cost for the 200 copies of each handbook is $10,548.43, which includes a 15% discount and shipping, with ACH preferred as the payment method.

There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent organizations mentioned in the available documentation. The procurement appears to be a direct purchase from a single vendor (IIRP) without competitive bidding, which is justified through the sole source notice. No information is provided about disadvantaged enterprise participation or integration requirements with existing infrastructure or technology. The documents do not discuss potential award values beyond the current purchase or indicate any broader contracting opportunities. The procurement seems limited to this specific order of educational handbooks for Deschutes County and Redwood CDP, with no indication of future procurement cycles or potential contract extensions. The contact for this opportunity is Katie Huff, the Contract Analyst for the High Desert Education Service District, who can provide additional information about the procurement process.
