NASPO Construction Equipment

The State of Oregon through Marion County is conducting a cooperative procurement opportunity for Construction Equipment via the NASPO ValuePoint program, utilizing a solicitation originally issued by the State of Oklahoma (OK-SW-192). This procurement seeks to establish non-exclusive Participating Addenda with multiple contractors for the acquisition of construction equipment and related services. The opportunity allows state and local government entities, including Oregon's agencies and members of the Oregon Cooperative Procurement Program (ORCPP), to purchase equipment through various selection processes such as highest ranked proposer, sole source procurement, brand name justification, cost comparison, or best value analysis. The initial master agreement term is two years, with potential renewals extending up to five total years. Participating entities may utilize different evaluation methodologies, with purchases over $10,000 typically requiring a best value analysis approach.

The procurement does not explicitly specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises based on the provided documentation. Oregon estimates its agencies and ORCPP members will purchase in excess of $3,000,000 annually of construction equipment, though this amount is not guaranteed. Contractors participating in this opportunity will be required to comply with Oregon's tax laws, submit quarterly volume sales reports, and pay a 2% vendor-collected administrative fee. The opportunity is open to multiple contractors, and purchasing entities can establish individual purchasing agreements based on their specific needs. While specific incumbent vendors are not detailed in the documentation, the procurement allows for flexible purchasing methods and provides a cooperative framework for government entities to acquire construction equipment through standardized master agreements with predetermined terms and conditions.
