The ITB is open to certified Oregon firms, and bidders must provide their COBID certification number if applicable. The Agency requires bidders to take reasonable steps to ensure certified disadvantaged businesses, including minority-owned, woman-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, and emerging small businesses, have an equal opportunity to participate in any subcontracting opportunities. However, the ITB does not specify any set-aside requirements, incumbent vendors, or the estimated contract value.
