This is only a notice** Professional Grade Tools and Diagnostic Equiptment

The State of Oregon, through its Department of Administrative Services, Procurement Services (DAS PS), is conducting a cooperative procurement for Professional Grade Tools and Diagnostic Equipment via NASPO ValuePoint's Request for Proposal (RFP) OK-MA-818. The procurement targets state agencies, institutions of higher education, political subdivisions, and other eligible entities across the United States, with specific focus on Marion County. The solicitation seeks to establish one or more Participating Addenda with contractors who can provide a comprehensive range of professional-grade tools and diagnostic equipment. The initial Master Agreement term will be two years, with options to renew for up to three consecutive one-year periods. Interested parties must submit protests to the State of Oklahoma or Oregon's Sole Point of Contact by April 21, 2023, with the final proposal due date set for April 29, 2023. The State of Oregon may enter into Participating Addenda with all awarded contractors or limit participation to the three highest-ranked national proposers and the three highest-ranked Oregon-specific proposers.

The procurement appears open to a wide range of vendors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though standard state procurement diversity guidelines likely apply. No incumbent vendors are explicitly identified in the documentation. The procurement allows for participation by various organizational types, including state agencies, educational institutions, and political subdivisions. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the cooperative nature of the procurement suggests potential for significant aggregate purchasing volume across participating jurisdictions. The Participating Addendum includes comprehensive terms covering payment provisions, warranties, indemnification, termination rights, compliance with Oregon laws, and insurance requirements. Contractors will be required to report sales and pay a vendor-collected administrative fee, with the contract term aligned to the Master Agreement's duration. The procurement seeks to establish a flexible, comprehensive contract vehicle for acquiring professional-grade tools and diagnostic equipment across Oregon's governmental ecosystem.
