LEAGUE OF OREGON CITIES
Law Enforcement Equipment Solicitation Synopsis
Solicitation No. 2010
Intent
T
he League of Oregon Cities (LOC) served as Lead Agency to solicit proposals for Law Enforcement Equipment. LOC works in cooperation with National Purchasing Partners “NPP” and its Government Division dba NPPGov, dba Public Safety GPO and dba Law Enforcement GPO (collectively hereinafter “NPPGov”), to service the LOC and NPPGov membership. The published Request for Proposal (RFP) contained provisions that permitted all members of LOC and NPPGov throughout the nation to “piggy-back” off the resulting Master Price Agreement.
Determination for issuing RFP vs. Sealed Bid
LO
C has determined that it is advantageous for LOC to procure Law Enforcement Equipment using a secure competitive RFP process evaluated based on “best value” rather than sealed bidding. Sealed bidding limits evaluation of offers solely to compliance with the requirements, provides no opportunity to compare the product and service offerings among the vendors, and uses price as the predominate deciding factor. Such limitations prevent LOC from awarding the most advantageous contract(s) for LOC and its members.
Procedure
LOC issued an RFP (2010) on January 6th, 2020.
T
he RFP was published in the Daily Journal of Commerce on January 9th, 2020.
