Sole Source Notice

The state of Oregon has issued a Sole Source Notice for a procurement targeting two specific state divisions: Vocational Rehabilitation (VR) and the Division of Developmental Disabilities (DDS). The contract opportunity involves securing DocuSign Enterprise Pro Edition subscriptions with specific envelope and support requirements. For the Vocational Rehabilitation division, the procurement includes a 200-seat subscription with 20,000 envelopes and Enterprise Premier Support. The Division of Developmental Disabilities requires a larger 100,000 envelope subscription, also with Enterprise Premier Support. The sole source notice was posted on October 24, 2023, with a response deadline of October 31, 2023, indicating a short turnaround time for potential vendors. The procurement appears to be a direct acquisition of digital document management and electronic signature technology to support state agency operational workflows. The notice suggests a targeted, specific procurement approach that does not seem to involve a traditional competitive bidding process.

While the notice does not explicitly outline set-aside designations or vendor restrictions, the sole source nature implies a pre-selected vendor or specific technological requirement that limits competitive bidding. The procurement appears focused on standardizing document management capabilities across two state divisions, suggesting potential integration with existing state technological infrastructure. The envelope volumes (20,000 for VR and 100,000 for DDS) indicate substantial expected usage and potential scalability requirements. Though specific budget ranges are not detailed, the comprehensive subscription and support package implies a significant technological investment. The Enterprise Premier Support component suggests the state is seeking not just a software solution, but also comprehensive technical assistance and maintenance for the DocuSign platform across these two critical state divisions.
