Metal Well Tags

The Oregon Water Resources Department is seeking to procure metal well identification tags for Marion County and the City of Salem through a state and local contract opportunity. The specification requires stainless steel tags that are 1-7/8" tall by 3-3/8" wide, with a thickness of approximately 1/32", featuring rounded corners and one vertical slot on each end for attachment. These tags must be permanently affixed to water wells using metal straps or hose clamps and must be weather and rust resistant. Each tag will be black paint-filled and stamped with specific information, including the Oregon Water Resources Department well number, using a plain font style such as Arial or Calibri. The tags are to be packaged in groups of 50-100 and shipped in boxes containing no more than 500 tags. The solicitation was posted on December 15, 2021, with a response deadline of December 20, 2021, indicating a rapid turnaround time for potential vendors. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed, vendors will likely be assessed on their ability to meet the precise technical specifications outlined in the documentation.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation were explicitly stated in the provided documentation. The solicitation does not indicate preferences for disadvantaged business enterprises or outline any specific vendor qualifications beyond the technical specifications for the well tags. No incumbent vendors were identified, and there are no apparent requirements for integration with existing infrastructure or technology. Similarly, the documentation does not provide a clear budget range or potential award value for this procurement opportunity. The Oregon Water Resources Department reserves the right to extend the initial contract by amendment, suggesting potential flexibility in the procurement process. While the solicitation appears straightforward in its request for metal well tags, the lack of detailed financial and procedural information may require interested vendors to seek additional clarification directly from the procuring agency.
