Public Notice of Intent to Utilize Cooperative Purchasing Contract

Eugene School District 4J in Lane County, Oregon, is issuing a public notice of intent to award a cooperative purchasing contract with Tyler Technologies for Transportation Software as a Service (SaaS) and associated training services. The procurement is being conducted through Sourcewell Contract #090320-TTI, leveraging the provisions of ORS 279A.215(2)(a) and ORS 279B.060, which allow for permissive cooperative purchasing arrangements. The contract encompasses comprehensive transportation management software solutions and related training services designed to enhance the district's operational capabilities. The school district has determined that Tyler Technologies completed the procurement process in a manner substantially equivalent to standard state procurement requirements. The public notice was posted on September 20, 2024, with a deadline for public comments set for 4 PM seven days from the posting date, which would be September 27, 2024. The contract was formally approved by the Eugene School District 4J School Board on September 18, 2024.

The cooperative contract has an estimated total value of $251,179.00 and does not appear to have specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational responding. Tyler Technologies is the sole vendor identified in this procurement, and the contract seems to be a direct award through an existing cooperative purchasing agreement. The procurement does not indicate specific requirements for disadvantaged business enterprises or other specialized vendor classifications. The SaaS solution will likely require integration with existing district technology infrastructure, though specific technical integration requirements are not detailed in the provided documentation. The contract appears to be a straightforward technology procurement aimed at improving the district's transportation management capabilities through a standardized software solution and associated training services.
