RFQ 2022-03 Unarmed Security Services

CareOregon, a nonprofit healthcare organization located in Portland, Oregon, has issued a Request for Quotes (RFQ 2022-03) for unarmed security services targeting its facilities in the metropolitan area. The procurement seeks a qualified security service provider to be on retainer for on-call professional security services at its 11-story headquarters building and potential additional remote office locations. Required services include access control, facility patrols, visitor and employee identification, incident reporting, and monitoring building systems. Respondents must provide comprehensive documentation including company background, security personnel experience, onboarding and training information, organizational values, diversity details, labor hour fee schedules, and professional references. CareOregon will evaluate quotes based on multiple criteria such as firm experience, staff qualifications, pricing, and reference checks. The contract has a proposed two-year term from approximately May 2022 through May 2024, with quotes due by April 14, 2022, at 2:00 pm. Strict insurance requirements are specified, including general liability, professional liability, automobile liability, and cyber liability coverage.

While the RFQ does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types, it emphasizes comprehensive organizational documentation that could indirectly encourage diversity in vendor selection. The procurement does not reference incumbent vendors or specify existing security infrastructure requiring integration. No specific total contract value or precise budget range is explicitly stated in the available documentation. Prospective vendors will be required to submit detailed pricing through labor hour fee schedules, which will be a key evaluation component. The security services will cover multiple CareOregon facilities, suggesting potential scalability and future expansion of services. Interested vendors must demonstrate professional capabilities, operational expertise, and competitive pricing to be considered for this contract opportunity. The comprehensive requirements indicate CareOregon is seeking a professional, experienced security service provider capable of maintaining a safe and secure environment across its organizational facilities.
