OPRD 9071 Sole Source SOLVE Oregon Adopt-A-Beach, Ocean Shores and Riverside Cleanup and Outreach

The Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD) is pursuing a sole-source procurement with SOLVE (Stop Oregon Litter and Vandalism) for a multi-year contract focused on beach and riverside cleanup events and outreach programs. The procurement will cover coordination and implementation of three signature cleanup events: the Fall Beach & Riverside Cleanup in September 2022, the Oregon Spring Cleanup in April 2022 and April 2023, and additional cleanup events during the snowy plover off-season. Specific deliverables include managing participating volunteers, conducting community-building road trips, providing outreach to local state parks staff and community groups, and hosting the Oregon Adopt-A-Beach webpage. The contract period runs from March 31, 2022, through June 30, 2023, with a posted solicitation date of March 11, 2022, and a response due date of March 18, 2022. OPRD's key objectives are to leverage SOLVE's existing volunteer networks, resources, and tools to efficiently implement environmental cleanup and community engagement programs while supporting the department's broader mission and goals.

This sole-source determination does not indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The contract has been directly awarded to SOLVE based on their unique capabilities and existing infrastructure in environmental cleanup and volunteer coordination. The total estimated contract value is $80,000 for the specified contract period. SOLVE will be the sole vendor responsible for executing the cleanup events and related outreach activities, with no mention of competing vendors or integration requirements with existing technology platforms. The procurement appears to be a direct award based on SOLVE's proven track record and ability to provide cost-effective services that align with OPRD's environmental and community engagement objectives. The sole-source justification emphasizes SOLVE's efficiency, volunteer network, and alignment with departmental goals as primary factors in the contract award.
