NOTICE- NASPO OR PA- Procurement Assistance & IT Support Services

The State of Oregon's Department of Administrative Services, State Procurement Services, is establishing one or more Participating Addenda under the NASPO ValuePoint cooperative purchasing program to provide Procurement Assistance and IT Support Services to eligible Oregon entities. This is not a competitive bid but rather an adoption of Master Agreements originally established by the State of North Carolina's interstate cooperative procurement (DPC-1428523190-SA), which resulted in 40 awarded Master Agreements expiring January 18, 2029, with renewal options extending through November 18, 2032. The eligible purchasing entities include State of Oregon agencies, institutions of higher education, cities, counties, districts, political subdivisions, nonprofit organizations, and ORCPP members. The Participating Addendum template requires contractors to submit volume sales reports, maintain comprehensive insurance coverage including workers' compensation, commercial general liability ($2,000,000 per occurrence minimum), automobile liability ($5,000,000 combined single limit), and professional liability ($2,000,000 per occurrence), and comply with federal provisions including Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wages, anti-kickback requirements, and debarment certifications. The notice indicates Oregon intends to potentially limit awards to vendors providing services on a national level and offering the best value to Oregon users. The protest deadline for this Notice of Intent is 3:00 p.m. Pacific Time on March 16, 2026, and Oregon is currently reviewing the Master Agreements to determine final pricing terms and participation details.

No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, women-owned businesses, or minority-owned enterprises are detailed in the procurement notice. The addendum does not restrict participation based on organizational type, as it extends to both public and nonprofit entities within Oregon's eligible purchasing categories. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in this notice, as this represents a new adoption of existing Master Agreements rather than a renewal of existing contracts. Existing infrastructure or technology integration requirements are not specified, as individual orders issued under the addendum will be negotiated separately with selected contractors. No specific award values or budget ranges are provided in this notice; Oregon notes that all payments to state agencies are conditioned upon available appropriations and funding. Contractors selected for participation will be required to pay a two percent administrative fee to the participating entity and provide proof of insurance within ten calendar days of the addendum's effective date. Additional details regarding pricing, specific services to be offered, and final participation terms are to be determined as Oregon completes its review of the Master Agreements.
