About this opportunity
The State of Oregon Department of Administrative Services is requesting public comment on draft findings for a waiver of Buy America requirements under ORS 279C.303 for sheet metal in the State Data Center Roof Replacement project (ITB S-10700-00017107), with comments due August 27, 2026.
The waiver applies to a competitive sealed bid closed on July 8, 2026. The underlying project scope is sheet metal products for new flashing and trim as part of roof replacement at the State Data Center. Final completion is required by September 30, 2026, with substantial completion by September 15, 2026 to prevent weather-related damage to sensitive equipment during the late fall rainy season.
The State's findings support the waiver based on supply-chain lead time and project scheduling constraints. Buy America-compliant sheet metal products require eight to ten weeks of delivery lead time; procurement of such materials would cascade delays into early summer 2027 and materially increase risk of roof membrane failure and equipment damage. State Buy America-compliant substitute materials are available in limited quantities only through the week of August 24, 2026. A non-compliant sheet metal product has been identified that meets technical specifications, carries no additional cost to the State, and offers a one-week lead time.
If approved, the waiver would permit procurement of non-Buy America-compliant roofing sheet metal and would remain valid for one year from issuance. Public comment should be directed to egs.pscustomercare@das.oregon.gov and Procurement Contract Specialist Kelly Huffman at kelly.huffman@das.oregon.gov. The State Chief Procurement Officer will issue a final determination after the seven-day comment period closes.
