Public notice of intent to use of interstate cooperative contract in excess of $250,000.

Washington County, Oregon Procurement Office has issued a public notice of intent to use an interstate Sourcewell cooperative contract with Etnyre International for road maintenance equipment, with public comments due November 2, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time. The cooperative vehicle is the decision-flipping constraint: the County would buy through the Minnesota-originated contract, designated 050625-ETN, rather than run its own competitive solicitation.

The anticipated spend is $1.2 million, which exceeds the $250,000 threshold that triggers public notice for interstate cooperative contracts under Oregon Revised Statutes 279A.205 through 279A.255. The notice is governed by that statutory framework, and the County leverages pre-negotiated terms and pricing from the Minnesota cooperative process.

Prospective bidders and other suppliers may submit written comments within seven days of the initial publication to wcpurchasing@washingtoncountyor.gov. The County will issue a written determination on whether the cooperative procurement serves the County's best interest and will respond to all vendors who submit comments by the deadline.
