About this opportunity
The Oregon Business Development Department, Arts & Cultural Trust Division, issued a Sole Source Notice on September 28, 2026, for advertising and promotional services with Portland Business Journal (American City Business Journals, Inc.), with a protest deadline of October 7, 2026 at 3:00 p.m. This is a sole-source procurement under Oregon Revised Statute 279B.075 and Oregon Administrative Rule 137-047-0275.
The scope encompasses comprehensive advertising across website, mobile site, newsletters, and articles to promote the Oregon Cultural Trust Tax Credit, Oregon Arts Commission events and grants, and philanthropic support for arts and culture. Deliverables include promotions for the December 2026 Arts & Culture Summit and Awards; long-term storytelling articles on statewide cultural impact; brand-pillars hub advertising from December 2026 through June 2027; gold sponsorship of the February 2027 Corporate Philanthropy Awards and Publisher Dinner; digital promotional placements; and dedicated email amplification of key program takeaways.
The estimated contract value is $54,740 for the full term running from signature through July 31, 2027, with no renewal options. The sole-source justification rests on PBJ's unique ability to deliver a comprehensive, integrated offering combining year-end fundraising across multiple media channels, outreach to arts and culture influencers, tax credit promotion, and philanthropic engagement simultaneously. The OBDD consulted alternative outlets including Willamette Week Give!Guide, Oregon Historical Society Quarterly, Portland Monthly, Oregon Public Broadcasting, and Little Bird Media and determined none offered equivalent integrated service. The determination was approved electronically by Erika Murchison, Designated Procurement Officer, on September 28, 2026.
