The initial contract term is five years, with options to renew up to a cumulative maximum of ten years.

Proposers must provide detailed information on their use of certified firms and plans for soliciting certified firms for subcontracting. The estimated contract value is approximately $260,000 for the five-year term, with no strict budget cap specified. Proposers must complete several attachments, including a Responsibility Inquiry demonstrating their capability to meet contractual responsibilities, a Proposer Information and Certification Sheet, and a Reference Check Form. Additional requirements include possessing a current Pay Equity Certificate for employers with 50 or more full-time workers and a contract price exceeding $500,000. The state will apply preferences for Oregon goods and services, recycled materials, and certified small businesses during the evaluation process.
