Request for Special Procurement Armored Vehicle Services

The State of Oregon, specifically the Department of Administrative Services Procurement Services (DAS PS), is conducting a Special Procurement for Armored Vehicle Services through a Price Agreement (PA No. 3396) that will serve Marion County and the City of Salem. The procurement seeks to extend the existing contract with Loomis Armored US LLC for one year, from November 21, 2023 to November 21, 2024, to allow sufficient time to complete a formal competitive solicitation. The services encompass secure collection, transportation, and deposit of cash, monetary instruments, and other valuable items for approximately 290 governmental entities in Oregon. The primary objectives include preventing a service delivery lapse, incorporating stakeholder feedback, and maintaining critical armored transport infrastructure. The procurement notice was posted on August 10, 2023, with a protest deadline of August 17, 2023, during which affected parties can submit formal written protests detailing legal and factual grounds, potential harm, and requested relief.

The current procurement does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The incumbent vendor is Loomis Armored US LLC, who currently provides services under the existing Price Agreement originally awarded in 2013. The total estimated cost for the one-year contract extension is $1,179,000, representing a continuation of existing services while DAS PS prepares for a comprehensive competitive solicitation. The special procurement aims to support additional industry engagement through a planned Request for Information to identify potential changes in service provider capabilities. No specific technological integration requirements were outlined in the documents, though the procurement suggests the need for seamless continuation of existing armored transport services across multiple governmental jurisdictions in Oregon. The procurement process will allow DAS PS to maintain uninterrupted access to essential armored transport services while developing a more comprehensive long-term contracting strategy.
