About this opportunity
The Oregon Department of Education (ODE) is pursuing a sole source procurement for TransACT Communications, Inc.'s web-based parent notification system for the 2023-2024 school year. The contract covers a comprehensive suite of legally-reviewed parent notifications available in over 21 languages, designed to support Oregon's 202 Local Education Agencies and 20 Education Service Districts in meeting federal parent notification compliance requirements. The subscription includes an unlimited use license, professional translation services, and ongoing content updates. Interested parties wishing to protest the sole source designation must submit their objection by 5:00 p.m. on January 19, 2024, with specific protest requirements outlined in the documentation. The procurement is specifically relevant to Marion County and involves a one-year renewal with potential continuation until a five-year contract expiration.
There are no specific set-aside designations mentioned in the documentation for this procurement. The sole source justification is based on TransACT being the exclusive provider of a web-based solution meeting the state's precise form, function, language, and content requirements, as authorized under Oregon Revised Statute 279B.075. The contract value is estimated at $140,000 for the annual subscription, with ODE anticipating yearly renewals. No information is provided about restrictions on organizational respondents or disadvantaged enterprise participation. The current infrastructure appears to be an existing web-based platform that provides multilingual parent notification services, which will be renewed for continued use by educational agencies across Oregon. TransACT is positioned as the incumbent and sole source provider for these critical translation and notification services.
