The Oregon Department of Administrative Services, on behalf of the Oregon Employment Department, has issued a special procurement notice under solicitation REQ-DASOBO-00223850 to amend Contract No. 22-128 with Cascade Web Development, Inc. (CWD). This action is authorized under ORS 279B.085, bypassing the standard competitive process due to CWD's exceptional performance, the risk of operational disruption, and the high cost of transitioning to a new provider. The contract provides critical website support and maintenance for WorkSource Oregon, including hosting services, system administration, content delivery networks, database servers, and the maintenance of 12 top translated language pages. The contract amendment is scheduled to be effective from January 1, 2027, through December 31, 2031. The total estimated contract value is 258,386 dollars, which includes 30,000 dollars for enhancement services over the five-year period. All hosted data is classified as Level 1 Published data, indicating low risk and low sensitivity. Administration of the contract is managed by State Procurement Analyst Ashley Griffin, and the agency must comply with all Enterprise Information Services conditions and reporting requirements under ORS 279A.165.
