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

This procurement is a notice of amendment to establish one or more Participating Addenda under the NASPO ValuePoint Master Agreement for Procurement Assistance and IT Support Services, sourced from North Carolina's PASS and IT Support Services portfolio. The State of Oregon Department of Administrative Services, State Procurement Services (DAS SPS) is procuring on behalf of eligible purchasing entities including all state agencies under DAS procurement authority, institutions of higher education, cities, counties, districts, political subdivisions of Oregon, nonprofit organizations, and members of the Oregon Cooperative Purchasing Program (ORCPP). The scope of services encompasses all products and services available through the master agreement, with the restriction that State Agencies under DAS Authority may only utilize Value Add 6-Grant Assistance and Management services. Required qualifications include that potential awardees must have scored more than 700 points in either category under the NASPO solicitation and must be capable of providing services to State of Oregon purchasing entities. This is not a traditional bid solicitation; rather, it is an announcement of intent to participate, and suppliers do not need to submit proposals. Interested parties may submit protests to this amendment until 3:00 p.m. Pacific Time on April 17, 2026, in accordance with ORS 279B.410 et seq. DAS SPS will negotiate specific areas of the participating addendum including categories or subcategories of services and the ordering process, with the addendum term being coterminous with the master agreement.

There are no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise restrictions mentioned in this notice. The participating addendum will be awarded to awardees from North Carolina's existing PASS and IT Support Services master agreement portfolio who meet the scoring threshold and qualification requirements. For State Agencies under DAS Authority with union-represented employees, services exceeding $60,000 over the life of a Work Order Contract require a union feasibility determination, and services exceeding $250,000 require a state feasibility determination. Contractors must submit volume sales reports and pay an administrative fee of two percent (2%) to the State of Oregon, and must provide certificates of insurance within ten calendar days of the effective date meeting specified coverage requirements including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, automobile liability, and professional liability. The participating addendum remains effective until the earlier of the master agreement's expiration or termination, with DAS retaining the right to terminate upon thirty days' written notice. No specific award values or budget ranges are provided in this notice, as individual purchasing entities within Oregon will conduct separate best value selection processes to award orders to participating addendum holders.
