Multnomah County Sheriff's Office Recognition Plaques, Awards and Engraving

Multnomah County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) is seeking bids for a contract to provide recognition plaques, awards, and engraving services through a Request for Intermediate Bids (RIB-94-2021). The primary procurement focuses on custom retirement plaques and badge engraving, specifically requiring a 9x12 solid genuine walnut plaque with a 7x10 customized mounted brass plate, flat brass badge mounting, and engraving services. The solicitation was opened on April 2, 2021, at 8:00 AM PDT and will close on April 16, 2021, at 4:00 PM PDT, with no pre-bid conference scheduled. MCSO intends to award a single contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. The bid includes three primary line items: a retirement plaque, badge engraving and "RETIRED" ribbon mounting, and a percentage discount on other products. The county reserves the right to request product samples post-award to inspect quality and workmanship, with the potential to reject any products that do not meet specifications. The primary contact for this bid is Stacey Thomson, who can be reached at stacey.thomson@mcso.us or +1 503-988-4416 ext. 84416.

The procurement emphasizes responsible business practices, requiring suppliers to reuse or recycle waste materials and make reasonable efforts to include diverse suppliers and subcontractors. While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed, the bid language suggests a preference for diverse and environmentally conscious vendors. Payment terms are established at 0% 0, Net 30, using US Dollars as the currency. The solicitation is open through the Multnomah County Marketplace (MMP) platform, which provides multiple access methods for potential vendors, including matching commodity codes during registration or direct invitation. Vendors are encouraged to carefully review all documentation and use the Q&A board for event-specific questions, with technical support available at tsmmarketplacesupport@multco.us. Though specific award value or budget range is not disclosed in the available documents, the procurement appears to be for ongoing recognition and engraving services for the Sheriff's Office, likely with potential for future repeat or similar orders.
