Bidders must provide comprehensive documentation including a Bid Cover Sheet, Reference Check Form, Technical Specifications, and Price Submittal Form, with the evaluation conducted on a pass/fail basis.

Evaluation criteria include compliance with technical specifications, pricing, and vendor references, with the contract to be awarded to the lowest responsible bidder who substantially meets all requirements. The initial contract term is anticipated to be 12 months, with the state expecting to award one contract to the most qualified vendor.

The procurement includes a strong emphasis on business diversity through the COBID (Certification Office for Business Inclusion and Diversity) Outreach Plan, which encourages participation of certified disadvantaged businesses, including minority-owned, woman-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, and emerging small businesses. Bidders must disclose their certification status and potential subcontracting opportunities with diverse businesses. While no specific incumbent vendors are mentioned, the bid documents require vendors to demonstrate responsibility through a comprehensive Responsibility Inquiry that assesses financial stability, legal standing, and operational capabilities. The pricing document suggests a potential contract value, with a sample entry indicating a total cost of $3,500.00 for a single unit (including unit and shipping costs). The procurement emphasizes compliance with pay equity requirements, nondiscrimination policies, and sustainability practices, with a preference for recyclable products to the maximum extent economically feasible. The contract will be governed by Oregon law and exclusively adjudicated in Marion County Circuit Court or the US District Court for the District of Oregon.
