Notice of intent to use interstate cooperative procurement

Yamhill County, Oregon is notifying prospective vendors of its intent to use an interstate cooperative procurement for merchant card services under an existing contract administered by Region XIV Education Service Center in Texas, with a comment period closing September 16, 2026 at 12 p.m. The County will leverage the existing competitively procured cooperative contract number 160990, with PayIt as the anticipated vendor.

This is a notice-and-comment proceeding rather than a competitive solicitation. Vendors or other interested parties may submit comments to Michael Barnhart, Finance Manager, at County Administration/Finance, 535 NE 5th Street, McMinnville, Oregon 97128, by email at barnhartm@yamhillcounty.gov or by phone at 503-474-4119. After the comment period closes, Yamhill County will proceed with the cooperative procurement in accordance with ORS 279A.220 and applicable Oregon public contracting requirements.

The estimated procurement amount is $75,000 over a three-year contract period. The County will apply the terms, conditions, and pricing established through the underlying Region XIV Education Service Center cooperative contract, avoiding a separate competitive process.
