Notice to Establish a Contract

Cherriots, a public transit agency in Oregon, is establishing a contract with DPI Security Inc for professional onsite facility security services under the State of Oregon Statewide Price Agreement PO-10700-00033258-8349, with a public notice and protest period closing June 18, 2026. This procurement bypasses traditional competitive bidding under Oregon Revised Statutes 279B.085 and 279B.130–279B.145, which authorize direct award to certified Qualified Rehabilitation Facility (QRF) vendors participating in the Oregon Forward Program; DPI Security Inc holds QRF certification and program standing.

The scope encompasses professional onsite facility security, access control, and screening operations at Cherriots transit facilities as outlined in the master price agreement statement of work. The contract value is $304,000 with a term from July 1, 2026, through July 1, 2027, plus four optional renewal years. Pricing has been pre-negotiated and established under the statewide master price agreement, reviewed by the Oregon Department of Administrative Services Procurement Services division for price reasonableness compliance with fair market rates. No traditional evaluation criteria or competitive selection process applies; the procurement rests on program alignment, DPI Security Inc's operational capability and specialized personnel infrastructure, and administrative efficiency from utilizing the pre-negotiated state contract. Stakeholders may submit written objections during the seven-day public notice and protest period through June 18, 2026.
