Label Printer

The Oregon State Hospital (OSH) is conducting a Request for Proposal (RFP 5331) to procure a comprehensive solution for medication labeling and printing services to ensure compliance with Oregon Revised Statute 689.564 and federal requirements. The procurement targets a single vendor capable of providing an end-to-end solution including printers, medication bottle labels, leaflets, training, and miscellaneous goods and services for producing medication bottles in multiple languages. Specifically, the solution must support label production in at least 14 languages, including Spanish, Russian, Somali, and Arabic, with technical requirements for advanced anti-counterfeiting features like void patterns and coin-reactive inks. Proposers must submit a detailed project implementation plan, demonstrate translation certification processes, and provide product samples proving technical capabilities. The proposal requires comprehensive documentation of translation accuracy, label design, and informational insert quality. The RFP was posted on June 27, 2022, with proposals due by July 29, 2022, for an initial one-year contract with potential renewals up to a total of five years. The contract will serve Marion County and the City of Salem, with potential expansion to other Oregon jurisdictions.

The RFP includes specific provisions for disadvantaged business enterprise participation, requiring offerors to certify their status and outline plans for subcontractor engagement with Oregon Certified Business Inclusion and Diversity (COBID) firms. Proposers must provide lists of certified and non-certified firms they have worked with in the past two years and detail potential subcontracting opportunities and approximate dollar values. The procurement includes a responsibility inquiry process where potential vendors must disclose financial resources, past performance, legal issues, and business authorization. Offerors are required to possess a current Pay Equity Certificate for contracts exceeding $500,000. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the required solution suggests a significant contract value. The contract will be awarded to the highest-ranking responsive and responsible proposer based on their ability to meet technical requirements, provide multilingual capabilities, demonstrate anti-counterfeiting technologies, and offer a complete pharmacy labeling and printing solution.
