Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Control Commission Distribution Center Shipping Supplies

The Oregon Department of Administrative Services, Procurement Services (DAS PS) is soliciting proposals on behalf of the Oregon Liquor and Cannabis Commission (OLCC) for distribution center shipping supplies. The Request for Proposal (RFP# S-DASOBO-00002617) seeks vendors to provide corrugated boxes, box partitions, polyethylene bundling stretch film, dunnage paper, packaging tape, and related shipping materials used for alcoholic beverage distribution to liquor stores statewide. Proposers must submit detailed specifications including product samples, with pricing proposals evaluated separately and the lowest price receiving the highest points. The initial contract term is anticipated to be four years, with potential renewal options extending up to a cumulative maximum of fourteen years. Proposals are due by Thursday, June 16, 2022, at 4:00 PM PT, with DAS PS potentially awarding multiple Price Agreements and utilizing a methodology to determine which contractor to purchase from during each order. Evaluation will consider the proposer's ability to meet detailed product specifications, pricing, and implementation capabilities as outlined in the attachments, particularly the Response to Specifications and Project Implementation Plan documents.

The procurement includes specific set-aside provisions for certified disadvantaged businesses, with Attachment F requiring proposers to develop a Certified Business Outreach Plan. The RFP encourages participation from minority-owned, women-owned, service-disabled veteran-owned, and emerging small businesses, requesting proposers identify potential subcontracting opportunities and their approximate dollar values. Proposers must complete a Responsibility Inquiry demonstrating financial stability, equipment resources, personnel expertise, and performance history, including disclosure of any criminal, civil, or bankruptcy actions within the past three years. While specific contract values are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the shipping supplies procurement and the four-year initial term suggest a potentially significant contract opportunity. The jurisdictions covered include Marion County and the City of Salem, with the OLCC distribution center as the primary point of delivery. Proposers must also complete various certifications, including a Disclosure Exemption Affidavit and Reference Check Form, to be considered for the contract.
