The City of Salem, Oregon, is pursuing a Special Procurement for Economic Development Services for the City and Urban Renewal Agency covering Fiscal Year 2025-2026. This procurement is being conducted through a special procurement process permitted under the city's adopted Public Contracting Rules. The services sought appear to focus on economic development activities, with a total budgeted amount of $210,000.00. The procurement timeline includes a public notice date of October 6, 2025, with a critical protest receipt deadline of October 13, 2025, at 4:00 PM local time. Potential vendors must be prepared to submit comprehensive economic development services that support the city's urban development and economic growth objectives. Any interested parties must carefully review the procurement requirements and be prepared to meet the specific submission guidelines.

The procurement allows for protests from affected parties, requiring a detailed written submission to the City Manager's office accompanied by a $500 certified or cashier's check to cover processing costs.
