Deicer Chemical for use on Oregon Highways

The Oregon Department of Administrative Services, State Procurement Services, is soliciting a price agreement for the supply and delivery of corrosion-inhibited, liquid magnesium chloride to be used for melting ice on highways throughout the state. The contract involves delivery to 104 storage sites across Oregon with freight terms set as FOB Destination. The initial term of the agreement is four years, with renewal options that can extend the total duration to a maximum of ten years. The state intends to award the agreement to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder capable of supplying the entire state, although multiple awards by district may be issued if it serves the state's best interest. To be eligible, products must be listed on the current Qualified Product List and meet all specified technical requirements. Evaluation is based on minimum qualifications, responsiveness, responsibility, and price, with specific price preferences applied for goods processed in Oregon, benefit companies, and reciprocal state preferences. Bidders must submit a comprehensive package via OregonBuys, including a bid cover sheet, reference checks, a responsibility inquiry, and a detailed pricing form in Excel. Successful bidders must also comply with Oregon tax laws, non-discrimination policies, and safety standards, including OSHA and state health requirements.
