Notice of Intent to Award: Permissive Cooperative Procurement

The North Clackamas School District is conducting a Permissive Cooperative Procurement for desktop printers through the OETC-22B-PrintServices-PacificOffice Automation cooperative contract. The procurement is specifically located in Clackamas County, Oregon, and seeks to acquire printing equipment for district use. The contract will have a five-year term, with an estimated total purchase amount of $267,000 for the printers. Any firms interested in providing feedback or comments about this procurement must submit their input within seven days of the notice, which was posted on May 4, 2023, with a response deadline of May 11, 2023. The procurement process involves using a cooperative contract vehicle, which allows the school district to leverage pre-negotiated pricing and terms from an existing competitively solicited contract.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the provided documentation. The contract appears to be open to standard vendors capable of providing desktop printing solutions through the Pacific Office Automation cooperative contract. The estimated total contract value of $267,000 over five years suggests a moderate-sized procurement opportunity for printer equipment and potentially related services. While no incumbent vendor information was provided, the use of a cooperative contract implies that Pacific Office Automation has been pre-selected as the primary vendor for this procurement. The cooperative procurement method indicates that the school district is seeking to streamline its purchasing process by utilizing a pre-established contract that has already undergone competitive solicitation.
