The State of Oregon, through the Finance Department - Purchasing Division, has issued a public notice of intent to utilize a cooperative contract for the procurement of presort mail and mail insert services with an anticipated spend of $295,000. This action is being taken under the authority of Oregon Revised Statutes 279A.205–279A.255, which permits cooperative purchasing among public entities to enhance efficiency and reduce costs.

The contracting office is located in Hillsboro, Oregon, and the primary point of contact for procurement inquiries is Carolyn Kraaz, Purchaser, reachable via email at wc [email hidden]. The place of performance is designated as the State of Oregon, with administrative functions managed by the Washington County Procurement Office. The contract is intended to be awarded to Metro PreSort Inc. through a cooperative agreement, leveraging an existing contract vehicle to avoid full competitive bidding. No detailed statement of work, evaluation factors, contract clauses, delivery schedules, packaging requirements, or inspection criteria are included in the public notice. Submissions must be made electronically via email by the stated deadline, with no specified file formats or proposal format requirements outlined. The notice does not include information on small business set-asides, socioeconomic certifications, or contract options, and formal roles such as Contracting Officer’s Representative or Procurement Contracting Officer are not explicitly assigned. Payment administration is directed to the Washington County Procurement Office, though remittance details and invoicing systems are unspecified. This notice serves as an official intent to award under cooperative procurement authority rather than a full solicitation document.
