Office of Oregon State Police Truck Bed Extension Storage Units

The Oregon Department of Administrative Services, Procurement Services (DAS PS) on behalf of the Office of Oregon State Police (OSP) has issued a Request for Proposals (RFP) for Truck Bed Extension Storage Units (TBESUs). The procurement seeks to acquire custom-built storage units designed to increase storage capacity in existing and new emergency vehicles, with OSP currently utilizing 33 TBESUs and looking to expand. The specific deliverables include eleven different vehicle configurations of TBESUs, with quantities ranging from one to nine units per vehicle type, featuring detailed specifications for lower platforms, overall dimensions, weight capacities between 1,100 to 1,200 pounds, drawers, storage compartments, and protective coatings. Proposers must demonstrate the ability to adapt to changes in vehicle design and TBESU specifications over the contract period. The RFP requires comprehensive documentation including a Reference Check Form, Responsibility Inquiry, and detailed price proposals. The proposal submission deadline is March 28, 2022, with an initial contract term of two years and potential extension for an additional eight years. Evaluation criteria will include pricing, with potential preferences given to Oregon goods and services, recycled materials, and the proposer's overall capability to meet contractual responsibilities.

The RFP includes specific requirements for certified disadvantaged businesses, with proposers required to submit a Certified Disadvantaged Business Outreach Plan describing steps to solicit minority-owned, woman-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, and emerging small businesses for subcontracting opportunities. Proposers employing 50 or more full-time workers with a contract price exceeding $500,000 must possess a Pay Equity Certificate. The solicitation encourages participation from certified businesses through the Oregon Certification Office for Business Inclusion and Diversity (COBID), with proposers required to report the identity and value of any subcontractors if awarded the contract. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the procurement involves multiple jurisdictions including Marion County and the City of Salem, suggesting a potentially significant contract value. The RFP allows for price proposals covering 1-9 units with associated shipping and delivery costs, and includes provisions for equipment maintenance and repair services. Proposers must also complete a Disclosure Exemption Affidavit, allowing them to protect certain proprietary information from public disclosure under Oregon's Public Records Law.
