Notification ONLY - Dur-A-Flex Purchase

The Oregon Department of Corrections (DOC) is seeking to procure Dur-A-Flex epoxy floor and wall coverings for the Oregon State Penitentiary (OSP), a maximum-security prison facility. This notification-only procurement focuses specifically on purchasing specialized epoxy coating materials for shower renovation during a planned water line replacement project. The DOC has determined a brand name specification for Dur-A-Flex products based on their extensive 15-year history with the manufacturer, citing superior product quality, durability, and ease of installation. The procurement will utilize a three-quote process to ensure competitive pricing, with a total estimated purchase value of $17,000. The contract opportunity was posted on October 7, 2022, with a response deadline of October 14, 2022, specifically involving Marion County, Oregon. The DOC's key objectives include maintaining institutional facility infrastructure with high-performance epoxy coatings that can withstand demanding correctional environment conditions.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent organizations were explicitly detailed in the provided documentation. The procurement appears open to qualified vendors capable of supplying the specified Dur-A-Flex products. While no incumbent vendors were directly identified, the DOC has demonstrated a long-standing preference for Dur-A-Flex materials based on prior successful implementations. The procurement documents indicate the agency will leverage existing staff training and technical support from Dur-A-Flex to minimize external contractor involvement. The budget range is clearly defined at $17,000, with the procurement targeting specific epoxy coating products including Poly-Crete WR, Dur-A-Glaze 4, Dur-A-Gard, Armor Top, and Poly-Crete TF and HF. The contract appears focused on product procurement rather than comprehensive installation services, with the DOC planning to apply the materials internally during scheduled facility maintenance.
