Public Notice of Intent to Utilize a Cooperative Purchasing Contract

Eugene School District 4J in Eugene, Oregon has issued a Public Notice of Intent to Utilize a Cooperative Purchasing Contract for fleet management technologies and related software solutions through Zonar Systems, Inc. This procurement is being conducted under the authority of ORS 279A.215(2)(a) and ORS 279B.060, which permit the district to leverage a cooperative purchasing agreement rather than conduct an independent solicitation. The district is utilizing Sourcewell Master Agreement #102924, which completed an original procurement process that the district has determined to be substantially equivalent to state requirements. The public notice was posted on March 17, 2026, with a comment submission deadline of 4 PM on March 24, 2026, allowing interested members of the public seven days to submit any comments or objections regarding this cooperative contract award. Comments should be directed to purchasing@4j.lane.edu. The procurement encompasses fleet management software and related technologies intended to support the district's transportation operations.

This cooperative purchasing arrangement does not appear to include set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond, as the procurement is being awarded directly to Zonar Systems, Inc. through the existing Sourcewell Master Agreement rather than through a competitive bidding process. No incumbent vendors or alternative contractors are identified in this notice, as the award is designated for Zonar Systems as the established vendor under the cooperative agreement. The estimated contract value for District 4J's purchases under this cooperative arrangement is $39,008.16. Since the original Sourcewell solicitation was not advertised in Oregon, the district is posting this public notice to comply with Department of Administrative Services public posting requirements, ensuring transparency and allowing the public an opportunity to provide input before the cooperative contract is finalized.
