Special Procurement Notice: Google Advertising

The State of Oregon, through the Department of Consumer and Business Services Division of Financial Regulation, has issued a notice for Special Procurement S-44000-00001298 regarding Google Advertising services. This non-competitive procurement, conducted under OAR 125-247-0288(5), is designed to facilitate statewide outreach to protect Oregonians' access to fair financial products and services. The scope of work involves utilizing Google Advertisements to reach a broad audience across all geographic areas of Oregon with multilingual capabilities, allowing the agency to respond quickly to unforeseen events such as natural disasters and consumer scams. The selection of Google was justified based on its dominant market presence, platform effectiveness in linking consumer searches to the agency, and the use of analytics to optimize ad expenditures. Amendment No. 1, dated August 31, 2026, seeks to extend the term of the existing special procurement and related purchase order 13-1044 from December 28, 2026, through December 31, 2031, with no additional estimated cost for the amendment period. Payments for these services are managed via the Agency SPOTS card. While this notice is not an opportunity for new bids or proposals, affected persons may submit a written protest to the agency single point of contact, Sydney Dunagan, within seven calendar days of the public notice. Protests must include the legal and factual grounds for the objection, a description of the resulting harm, and the requested relief.
