Notice of Intent to Purchase

Clackamas County, Oregon, is pursuing a procurement opportunity for SecureAuth software licenses through a cooperative contract with Omnia Partners (Contract 2018011-02). The county's Technology Services Department seeks to renew its existing SecureAuth license by issuing a purchase order to SHI Inc. for software licenses and related services. The procurement is specifically for SecureAuth Software Licenses, with a total estimated purchase value of $258,195.13 covering a two-year period. The procurement process is structured as a cooperative purchasing agreement, utilizing an existing competitively solicited contract to streamline the acquisition. The Notice of Intent to Purchase was posted on November 21, 2024, with a response deadline of November 28, 2024. The Board of County Commissioners has authorized the Department of Finance to issue the purchase order directly through the county's management software, indicating an internal administrative approach to executing the contract.

The procurement appears to be open to all qualified vendors through the existing Omnia Partners cooperative contract, with no specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises mentioned in the documentation. The current vendor, SHI Inc., is positioned to provide the software licenses through the established IT Solutions Products and Services contract. The procurement is specifically for renewing SecureAuth software licenses, suggesting potential integration with existing technology infrastructure within Clackamas County's technology ecosystem. The total contract value is precisely defined at $258,195.13, which represents a fixed budget for the two-year license renewal period. The procurement method leverages a cooperative contract, which typically allows for more efficient purchasing processes and potentially more competitive pricing through aggregated buying power across multiple governmental entities.
