US Signal formerly One Neck Extension and Special Procurement Amendment 1

The State of Oregon Department of Administrative Services, State Procurement Services, is executing a special procurement for colocation services with U.S. Signal (formerly OneNeck IT Solutions, LLC) for the Office of the State Chief Information Officer (OSCIO) Enterprise Information Services and Data Center Services. The procurement involves securing rack space, power, cooling, environmental and security controls, disaster recovery infrastructure, core network aggregation, and access to the Link Oregon fiber ring Point of Presence (PoP) at a data center located at 63090 Sherman Road in Bend, Oregon. The key objectives include relocating core network equipment from the Oregon Department of Transportation Region 5 Headquarters and backup computer and storage equipment from a Montana state data center to optimize the state's $2.5 million investment in the Link Oregon statewide fiber optic network. This procurement was initially approved on February 18, 2021, with the original contract running from February 15, 2021, through January 31, 2026. The current amendment seeks a five-year extension from January 1, 2026, through September 30, 2031, with a mandatory seven-calendar-day public notice period posted on OregonBuys. No specific bidder meetings, site visits, or additional evaluation criteria were referenced in the procurement documents.

The procurement does not specify any set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. U.S. Signal (OneNeck IT Solutions, LLC) is the incumbent vendor and currently operates the only designated disaster recovery site east of the Cascades for State of Oregon systems. The procurement is justified under ORS 279B.085 based on promoting public interest and maintaining disaster recovery readiness for critical IT infrastructure. The not-to-exceed (NTE) amount for the five-year amendment period is $5,400,000, which brings the cumulative approved NTE to $7,303,500. The pricing structure escalates from $840,000 annually in 2026 to $1,200,000 annually from 2028 through 2030, with monthly charges ranging from $70,000 to $100,000. Historical spend through July 2025 totals $1,810,468, reflecting prior purchases under the original special procurement approval. The contract's approval is contingent upon completion of the notice period, resolution of any protests, Department of Justice legal sufficiency review, and Enterprise Information Services endorsement prior to Master Services Agreement execution.
