Notice of Intent to Award

The state and local contract opportunity involves a procurement by the Oregon Department of Agriculture (ODA) for a New 2023 Can-Am Defender 6X6 XT-HD10 vehicle, specifically for the Noxious Weed Program. The procurement process was initiated due to the state's original vendor being unable to fulfill the order in a timely manner. After exploring alternative vendors within Oregon and finding none with the required vehicle in stock, ODA identified I-90 Motorsports in Issaquah, Washington as the source for the required ATV. The procurement is a direct purchase with a total cost of $26,034.00, with payment terms set at net 45 days. The vehicle will be picked up directly by ODA from the vendor's location. The Notice of Intent to Award was posted on March 24, 2023, with a response deadline of March 31, 2023. The procurement appears to be a straightforward vehicle acquisition for programmatic use, with the primary objective of equipping the Noxious Weed Program with a specialized utility vehicle.

The contract opportunity documents do not specify any set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or restrictions on vendor participation. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing technology integration requirements. The procurement is limited to a single vehicle with a defined cost of $26,034.00, representing the total budget for this specific acquisition. The jurisdictions involved include Marion County and the broader State of Oregon, with the Oregon Department of Agriculture as the procuring agency. The purchase order includes standard state contractual terms covering delivery, acceptance, payment, warranties, termination, and governing legal provisions. While the document suggests this is a direct purchase rather than a competitive bidding process, the procurement follows standard state purchasing protocols and appears to be a targeted acquisition to meet specific operational needs of the Noxious Weed Program.
