Notice of Intent to Utilize Cooperative Contract to Purchase Google Cloud Platform Services

The City of Eugene in Lane County, Oregon, intends to purchase Google Cloud Platform Enterprise Services from Smartronix LLC through a cooperative procurement process authorized by City of Eugene Administrative Rule 44-23-01-F, Oregon Revised Statutes 279A.220, and OAR 137-046-0430. The procurement originates from a competitive request for proposals initially conducted by the State of Utah, which resulted in a contract enabling cooperative purchasing. Vendor comments for this procurement are due by noon on Thursday, December 14, 2023, and must be submitted via email to Eugene.Purchasing@ci.eugene.or.us. The procurement specifically covers Google Cloud Platform Enterprise Services, which likely includes cloud computing infrastructure, storage, networking, and related technological services that support municipal government operations. While specific detailed technical requirements are not explicitly outlined in the available documentation, the procurement appears to be focused on acquiring comprehensive cloud platform services to enhance the city's technological capabilities.

The documentation does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent organizations. The cooperative procurement method suggests flexibility in vendor selection, with Smartronix LLC already identified as the primary vendor for these Google Cloud Platform Enterprise Services. The estimated procurement value is $1,817,504, which provides a clear budget range for the anticipated cloud services contract. No incumbent vendor information beyond Smartronix LLC is provided, and there are no explicit mentions of integration requirements with existing municipal technology infrastructure. The procurement appears to be open to standard vendor responses, with the primary qualification being the ability to provide Google Cloud Platform Enterprise Services through the existing cooperative contract established by the State of Utah. Interested vendors should carefully review the cooperative procurement guidelines and be prepared to meet the December 14, 2023 deadline for submitting any vendor comments or responses.
