Notice of Intent to Purchase through Interstate cooperative procurement Tymco Model 435 Sweeper

Clean Water Services, an Oregon-based district, is issuing a Notice of Intent to Purchase through the Houston-Galveston Area Council (HGAC) Cooperative Purchasing Program, specifically procuring one Tymco Model 435 Regenerative Air Sweeper directly from Tymco, Inc. The procurement will be executed under HGAC's Sealed Bid Solicitation No. SW04-20 for Sweeping Equipment, utilizing an existing cooperative contract framework to streamline the purchasing process. The total purchase price for the sweeper is $170,385, with the procurement adhering to Oregon Revised Statutes 279A.220. Prospective vendors have the opportunity to submit written comments regarding this purchase to Heidi Blasingame, Procurement Coordinator, at BlasingameH@CleanWaterServices.org. The deadline for submitting comments is December 12, 2025, which is also the final date for potential vendors to provide feedback or raise concerns about the procurement method.

The notice does not specify any specific set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or restrictions on responding organizations. No information is provided about incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing infrastructure that might require integration with the new sweeper. The procurement appears to be a straightforward equipment purchase through a cooperative purchasing program, with Tymco, Inc. being the sole manufacturer and supplier for this specific Regenerative Air Sweeper model. The budget is clearly defined at $170,385, representing the total cost of the equipment. While the document does not outline specific evaluation criteria beyond the cooperative procurement framework, the use of an HGAC-established contract suggests that competitive bidding and vendor qualifications have been previously assessed through that program's solicitation process.
