SECOND CLOSE DATE EXTENSION AND ALTERNATIVE
SUBMISSION METHOD
Issued by: LEAGUE OF OREGON CITIES (LOC)
Date: July 25, 2025
Due to technical difficulties with the designated proposal submission platform, which previously prevented proposers from submitting their proposals, the LEAGUE OF OREGON CITIES (LOC) is issuing a second extension for the due date of Request for Proposal (RFP) No. 2535. The new deadline for submission of proposals is 11:59 PM PDT on Monday, August 4, 2025.
1. Background and Rationale for Extension
• The original due date for RFP No. 2535 was July 21, 2025. • On July 21, 2025, the designated proposal submission platform experienced a technical failure, preventing proposers from uploading their proposals. As a result, the due date was extended to July 28, 2025. • Although the technical issues with the platform have now been resolved, the LOC is extending the deadline to provide sufficient time for all proposers to prepare and submit their proposals, accounting for any disruptions caused by the earlier outage.
2. Submission Methods
The designated proposal submission platform is now fully operational, and the LOC encourages proposers to use this method for submitting their proposals. To accommodate any potential concerns, an alternative submission method via email is also available:
• Online Submission Link (Preferred): Proposers are strongly encouraged to submit their proposals via the online submission link provided in the RFP. This is the preferred method, as it ensures secure and streamlined processing of proposals. • Email Submission (Alternative): As an alternative, proposers may submit their proposals via email to [email protected]. All proposal documents must be attached to the email and received by the new deadline. This option is provided to ensure flexibility, but proposers are advised to use the online submission link whenever possible.
3. Consideration of Previous Submissions
• The LOC recognizes that some proposers may have successfully submitted proposals via the online submission link prior to the technical issues. These submissions will be honored and included in the evaluation process. • Proposers who have already submitted via the online link are not required to resubmit. If proposers wish to confirm that their submission was received, they may contact the LOC via email at [email protected].
4. Submission Deadline and Requirements
• All proposals, regardless of submission method, must be received by 11:59 PM PDT on Monday, August 4, 2025. • Late submissions will not be considered.
• Proposers are responsible for ensuring their submissions are complete and comply with all requirements outlined in RFP No. 2535.
5. Submission Platform Status
The technical issues with the designated proposal submission platform have been resolved, and it is now fully operational. The LOC will continue to monitor the platform to ensure its reliability through the submission period. Proposers are encouraged to use the online submission link as the primary method but may utilize the email option if preferred.

1.0 INTENT:
1.1 GENERAL INTENT
The LEAGUE OF OREGON CITIES (“LOC”) serves as the “Lead Contracting Agency” for this solicitation on behalf of its members, and as authorized by the LOC Intergovernmental Agreement, which is an agreement for intergovernmental cooperation among select local Oregon governments and recognized under ORS Chapter 190.
LOC, in association with the members of National Purchasing Partners, LLC dba NPPGov (hereinafter referred to as “NPPGov”), comprises a cooperative procurement group. NPPGov membership includes government and non-profit entities across the United States and Canada, K-12 and Higher education, Tribal government, and other public entities which includes members of Public Safety GPO, First Responders GPO, and Law Enforcement GPO. As required by certain states and provinces, LOC and NPPGov have prepared an Attachment referencing eligible Members that also can be found on the LOC and NPPGov web sites. This procurement group is soliciting proposals from qualified companies (hereinafter referred to as “Proposer”) to enter into a Master Price Agreement for Medical Products, Monitors, Software, Data Transmission, and Related Services.
The intent of this Interstate Cooperative Procurement Solicitation (hereinafter referred to as “Solicitation” or “RFP”) is to invite Proposers to submit a competitive pricing proposal offering Medical Products, Monitors, Software, Data Transmission, and Related Services to LOC, which will then be made available to NPPGov members locally and nationwide; to reduce expenses by eliminating multiple requests for proposals and multiple responses by Vendors; and to obtain discounted pricing through volume purchasing. Significant sales potential exists because the Master Price Agreement will be used nationwide which may allow Participating Agencies to forego duplicating the formal solicitation process and expend staff resources. Preferably, the successful Proposer will provide its entire catalog of products and/or services in order that Participating Agencies who wish to access the Master Price Agreement may order a broad range of goods and services as needed.
With the exception of successful local Proposer(s) capable of servicing LOC and Participating Agencies within the state of Oregon, successful Proposer(s) should have a strong national presence for Medical Products, Monitors, Software, Data Transmission, and Related Services for use by government agencies nationwide.
This Solicitation meets Oregon public contracting requirements (ORS 279A et. seq.) and may not be appropriate under or meet Participating Agencies’ procurement laws. Participating Agencies are urged to seek independent review by their legal counsel to ensure compliance with all local and state solicitation requirements.
1.2 POTENTIAL MARKET
The LOC is publishing this RFP to create publicly awarded contracts for use by its members, which may also benefit the thousands of fellow members of NPPGov, Public Safety GPO, First Responders GPO, and Law Enforcement GPO. These are nationwide programs representing member government agencies in all 50 states.
We encourage each Proposer’s response to be a collaborative effort including manufacturer and distributor (when they are not the same company) to ensure nationwide contract utilization.
Proposer’s response should also take into consideration the considerable market potential for this Solicitation.
Because the successful proposal will be incorporated into a nationwide cooperative procurement program including tens of thousands of state, local government and non-profit participants from all 50 states, the LOC believes that contracts created from this Solicitation will provide vendors with a significant market advantage.
ATTACHMENT A
Members of NPPGov, Public Safety GPO, First Responders GPO, and Law Enforcement GPO and current vendors who participate in the program indicate the ability to shorten the sale cycle by eliminating the need to complete individual RFP processes is a significant advantage to participation.
The LOC believes that participation in the NPPGov purchasing program benefits both its Participating Agencies and successful Proposers. NPPGov engages with successful proposers who complete the Vendor Administration Agreement through a marketing and sales partnership. This partnership includes (but is not limited to) contract promotion to members, contract administration support to potential customers and live customer phone support.
Based on the historical volume of similar contracts, the estimated annual value of all transactions resulting from contracts awarded through this RFP is approximately USD 80 Million. Consequently, proposers are expected to offer volume pricing to reflect this potential scale. However, it is important to note that while considerable sales volume is anticipated, sales volume is not guaranteed and may vary from year to year.
1.3 REQUIREMENTS
1.3.1 The RFP and resulting Master Price Agreement are anticipated for use by the LOC’s government members, as well as other Participating Agencies across the nation. The LOC has entered into an Intergovernmental (interlocal) Cooperative Purchasing Agreement with other Participating Agencies for the purpose of obtaining Master Price Agreements with various vendors. Interlocal cooperative purchasing agreements allow Participating Agencies to make purchases at the LOC’s accepted proposal price, terms and conditions, provided that the Participating Agency has satisfied all of its local and state cooperative procurement requirements. Proposer(s) agrees to make the same proposal terms and price, exclusive of any possible rebates, incentives, freight and transportation fees, available to other Participating Agencies. The LOC and NPPGov will not incur any direct liability with respect to specifications, delivery, payment, or any other aspect of purchases by such Participating Agencies or nonprofit institutions. The Intergovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Agreement is incorporated by reference herein and is available upon request — See Attachment A.
The successful Proposer must work directly with the Participating Agencies concerning the placement of orders, disputes, invoicing and payment. The LOC and NPPGov shall not be held liable for any costs or damages incurred by or as a result of the actions of the Vendor or any Participating Agency.
Successful Proposers must comply with the state and local laws, rules and regulations in each state and locality where the product or service is provided.
1.3.2 Each Participating Agency shall execute a Participating Agency Endorsement and Authorization included in the Intergovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Agreement. While the terms of the Master Price Agreement shall govern the general pricing terms, each Participating Agency may request modification of the Master Price Agreement in accordance with each Participating Agency’s state and/or local purchasing laws, rules, regulations and procedures, provided said modifications are not material changes. Each Participating Agency may, at its discretion, and upon written agreement by the Participating Agency and Successful Proposer, request additional legal and procedural provisions not included herein that the successful Proposer must adhere to if it wishes to conduct business with said Participating Agency using the Master Price Agreement.
1.3.3 NPPGov, Public Safety GPO, First Responders GPO, and Law Enforcement GPO provide vendor exposure/marketing and contract utilization support for the successful Proposer’s products and services.
Successful Proposers servicing the awarded contract to Participating Agencies shall pay a Contract Administration Fee representing 2% percent of actual net sales under the Master Price Agreement as established in the NPPGov Vendor Administration Agreement (available upon request). Administration fee may not be listed or charged as a separate line item to users of the contract. The value of trade-ins or rebates shall not affect the amount of the administration fee paid to NPPGov.
1.4 MULTIPLE AWARDS
Multiple awards may be granted to meet the requirements of this Solicitation provided that such awards are differentiated by product make and model, service, and/or distribution regions and capabilities of the successful Proposers. Specifically, the LOC may award separate contracts to Proposers in order to cover all local and national geographical markets, electronic purchasing capabilities, and products and services identified in this Request for Proposal, as well as the diverse and large number of Participating Agencies. The award of multiple contracts is to be determined upon receipt and review of all proposals and based upon the general criteria
ATTACHMENT A
provided herein. The LOC may solicit proposals from local qualified companies with or without a national presence provided that the successful Proposer is able to provide the LOC with the products and services requested. Multiple awards will ensure fulfillment of current and future requirements of the diverse and large number of Participating Agencies. In the event a local Proposer with no national distribution capabilities best meets the proposal selection criteria, multiple local and nationwide responsive proposals may be awarded simultaneously in the best interests of local commerce, compliance with local laws, and the Participating Agencies nationwide.
Proposers should be able to serve the needs of Participating Agencies on a national basis. However, this requirement shall not exclude local Proposers without a national presence that are capable of meeting the requirements of the LOC within the state of Oregon.
1.5 CONTRACT USAGE
The actual utilization of any Master Price Agreement will be at the sole discretion of LOC and the other Participating Agencies. It is the intent of this Request for Proposal and resulting Master Price Agreement that Participating Agencies may buy directly from Successful Proposers without the need for further solicitation.
However, Participating Agencies are urged to seek independent review by their legal counsel to ensure compliance with all local and state solicitation requirements as well as the need of further notice prior to utilizing the Master Price Agreement
1.6 BACKGROUND OF NPPGov
NPPGov, owned by two non-profit healthcare organizations, provides group purchasing opportunities and purchasing administrative support for governmental entities and nonprofit institutions within its membership.
NPPGov’s membership includes participating public and nonprofit entities across North America.
1.7 EQUAL OPPORTUNITY
The LOC encourages Minority and Women-owned Small Business Proposers to submit proposals.

RUSH SHIPPING POLICY
Life-Assist never charges a rush fee on any order. Orders in by 4pm CST ship same day. The dedicated warehouse for the your department is in Lenexa, KS providing a 2-day ground delivery window. If Next Day Air shipping is required, additional freight charges may apply.
INVENTORY LEVELS
Life-Assist will adjust inventory levels at the time of award based on estimated annual usage provided by your agency. We use an electronic warehouse management system for inventory control and tracking customer allocations, lot numbers and expiration dates for all the products we provide. Manual adjustments are made as needed.
DISTRIBUTION AND DELIVERY PROCESS
Stock availability is clearly indicated on our website. When an order is placed, a confirmation email is sent to the email login address used to complete the order. The confirmation includes any items not in stock at the time the order is being processed (if applicable) and provides an estimated availability date. Our Customer Care Specialists can also provide stock availability by phone.
The shipping location is identified, and an order number is generated. Each order is processed independently, ensuring it is shipped to its specified address. As many of our customers have multiple locations, this system ensures multiple shipping locations are never an issue.
Once an order ships from our warehouse, an invoice is immediately generated for the items shipped. We have a 99% fill rate and adapt our inventory levels according to the needs of our customers to ensure backorders are kept to a minimum. If necessary, we also offer the ability to provide drop shipments directly from the manufacturer. Invoices are sent according to the method requested. In unlikely cases involving invoicing or product issues, backorders, mis-shipments, etc., the Customer Care Department will address them immediately. 12 ATTACHMENT A
Delivery & Distribution
SUBSTITUTIONS & ALTERNATIVE PRODUCTS
If substitutions are needed for any reason, your dedicated Account Manager will work with you directly to
accommodate your needs. Customers are notified of any
long-term backorder items or no longer available items as soon as the manufacturer provides information. Our
Product Specialist team searches for alternatives if the manufacturer does not offer a replacement item based on the needs outlined by your dedicated Account Manager.
EXPIRATION DATES
All items are shipped with a minimum 12-month
expiration date. Should an item be available with less than a 12-month expiration date, customers are notified at the time of order and their approval is required prior to
shipment. The Life-Assist website also provides detailed expiration information on any products that fall short of the 12-month minimum policy.
MANUFACTURER RELATIONSHIPS
Life-Assist has been serving the EMS community for over 40 years. We have strong, loyal relationships with all the manufacturers we distribute for, such as Microflex,
Laerdal, Ambu, Pulmodyne, Dukal, etc. Authorized
Distributer letters from all manufacturers can be

SOLICITATIONS FOR: MEDICAL PRODUCTS, MONITORS, SOFTWARE, DATA TRANSMISSION, AND RELATED
SERVICES
1.0 INTENT:
1.1 GENERAL INTENT
The LEAGUE OF OREGON CITIES (“LOC”) serves as the “Lead Contracting Agency” for this solicitation on behalf of its members, and as authorized by the LOC Intergovernmental Agreement, which is an agreement for intergovernmental cooperation among select local Oregon governments and recognized under ORS Chapter 190.
LOC, in association with the members of National Purchasing Partners, LLC dba NPPGov (hereinafter referred to as “NPPGov”), comprises a cooperative procurement group. NPPGov membership includes government and non-profit entities across the United States and Canada, K-12 and Higher education, Tribal government, and other public entities which includes members of Public Safety GPO, First Responders GPO, and Law Enforcement GPO. As required by certain states and provinces, LOC and NPPGov have prepared an Attachment referencing eligible Members that also can be found on the LOC and NPPGov web sites. This procurement group is soliciting proposals from qualified companies (hereinafter referred to as “Proposer”) to enter into a Master Price Agreement for Medical Products, Monitors, Software, Data Transmission, and Related Services.
The intent of this Interstate Cooperative Procurement Solicitation (hereinafter referred to as “Solicitation” or “RFP”) is to invite Proposers to submit a competitive pricing proposal offering Medical Products, Monitors, Software, Data Transmission, and Related Services to LOC, which will then be made available to NPPGov members locally and nationwide; to reduce expenses by eliminating multiple requests for proposals and multiple responses by Vendors; and to obtain discounted pricing through volume purchasing. Significant sales potential exists because the Master Price Agreement will be used nationwide which may allow Participating Agencies to forego duplicating the formal solicitation process and expend staff resources. Preferably, the successful Proposer will provide its entire catalog of products and/or services in order that Participating Agencies who wish to access the Master Price Agreement may order a broad range of goods and services as needed.
With the exception of successful local Proposer(s) capable of servicing LOC and Participating Agencies within the state of Oregon, successful Proposer(s) should have a strong national presence for Medical Products, Monitors, Software, Data Transmission, and Related Services for use by government agencies nationwide.
This Solicitation meets Oregon public contracting requirements (ORS 279A et. seq.) and may not be appropriate under or meet Participating Agencies’ procurement laws. Participating Agencies are urged to seek independent review by their legal counsel to ensure compliance with all local and state solicitation requirements.
1.2 POTENTIAL MARKET
The LOC is publishing this RFP to create publicly awarded contracts for use by its members, which may also benefit the thousands of fellow members of NPPGov, Public Safety GPO, First Responders GPO, and Law Enforcement GPO. These are nationwide programs representing member government agencies in all 50 states.
We encourage each Proposer’s response to be a collaborative effort including manufacturer and distributor (when they are not the same company) to ensure nationwide contract utilization.
Proposer’s response should also take into consideration the considerable market potential for this Solicitation.
Because the successful proposal will be incorporated into a nationwide cooperative procurement program including tens of thousands of state, local government and non-profit participants from all 50 states, the LOC believes that contracts created from this Solicitation will provide vendors with a significant market advantage. 42 ATTACHMENT A
Members of NPPGov, Public Safety GPO, First Responders GPO, and Law Enforcement GPO and current vendors who participate in the program indicate the ability to shorten the sale cycle by eliminating the need to complete individual RFP processes is a significant advantage to participation.
The LOC believes that participation in the NPPGov purchasing program benefits both its Participating Agencies and successful Proposers. NPPGov engages with successful proposers who complete the Vendor Administration Agreement through a marketing and sales partnership. This partnership includes (but is not limited to) contract promotion to members, contract administration support to potential customers and live customer phone support.
Based on the historical volume of similar contracts, the estimated annual value of all transactions resulting from contracts awarded through this RFP is approximately USD 80 Million. Consequently, proposers are expected to offer volume pricing to reflect this potential scale. However, it is important to note that while considerable sales volume is anticipated, sales volume is not guaranteed and may vary from year to year.
1.3 REQUIREMENTS
1.3.1 The RFP and resulting Master Price Agreement are anticipated for use by the LOC’s government members, as well as other Participating Agencies across the nation. The LOC has entered into an Intergovernmental (interlocal) Cooperative Purchasing Agreement with other Participating Agencies for the purpose of obtaining Master Price Agreements with various vendors. Interlocal cooperative purchasing agreements allow Participating Agencies to make purchases at the LOC’s accepted proposal price, terms and conditions, provided that the Participating Agency has satisfied all of its local and state cooperative procurement requirements. Proposer(s) agrees to make the same proposal terms and price, exclusive of any possible rebates, incentives, freight and transportation fees, available to other Participating Agencies. The LOC and NPPGov will not incur any direct liability with respect to specifications, delivery, payment, or any other aspect of purchases by such Participating Agencies or nonprofit institutions. The Intergovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Agreement is incorporated by reference herein and is available upon request — See Attachment A.
The successful Proposer must work directly with the Participating Agencies concerning the placement of orders, disputes, invoicing and payment. The LOC and NPPGov shall not be held liable for any costs or damages incurred by or as a result of the actions of the Vendor or any Participating Agency.
Successful Proposers must comply with the state and local laws, rules and regulations in each state and locality where the product or service is provided.
1.3.2 Each Participating Agency shall execute a Participating Agency Endorsement and Authorization included in the Intergovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Agreement. While the terms of the Master Price Agreement shall govern the general pricing terms, each Participating Agency may request modification of the Master Price Agreement in accordance with each Participating Agency’s state and/or local purchasing laws, rules, regulations and procedures, provided said modifications are not material changes. Each Participating Agency may, at its discretion, and upon written agreement by the Participating Agency and Successful Proposer, request additional legal and procedural provisions not included herein that the successful Proposer must adhere to if it wishes to conduct business with said Participating Agency using the Master Price Agreement.
1.3.3 NPPGov, Public Safety GPO, First Responders GPO, and Law Enforcement GPO provide vendor exposure/marketing and contract utilization support for the successful Proposer’s products and services.
Successful Proposers servicing the awarded contract to Participating Agencies shall pay a Contract Administration Fee representing 2% percent of actual net sales under the Master Price Agreement as established in the NPPGov Vendor Administration Agreement (available upon request). Administration fee may not be listed or charged as a separate line item to users of the contract. The value of trade-ins or rebates shall not affect the amount of the administration fee paid to NPPGov.
1.4 MULTIPLE AWARDS
Multiple awards may be granted to meet the requirements of this Solicitation provided that such awards are differentiated by product make and model, service, and/or distribution regions and capabilities of the successful Proposers. Specifically, the LOC may award separate contracts to Proposers in order to cover all local and national geographical markets, electronic purchasing capabilities, and products and services identified in this Request for Proposal, as well as the diverse and large number of Participating Agencies. The award of multiple contracts is to be determined upon receipt and review of all proposals and based upon the general criteria 43 ATTACHMENT A
provided herein. The LOC may solicit proposals from local qualified companies with or without a national presence provided that the successful Proposer is able to provide the LOC with the products and services requested. Multiple awards will ensure fulfillment of current and future requirements of the diverse and large number of Participating Agencies. In the event a local Proposer with no national distribution capabilities best meets the proposal selection criteria, multiple local and nationwide responsive proposals may be awarded simultaneously in the best interests of local commerce, compliance with local laws, and the Participating Agencies nationwide.
Proposers should be able to serve the needs of Participating Agencies on a national basis. However, this requirement shall not exclude local Proposers without a national presence that are capable of meeting the requirements of the LOC within the state of Oregon.
1.5 CONTRACT USAGE
The actual utilization of any Master Price Agreement will be at the sole discretion of LOC and the other Participating Agencies. It is the intent of this Request for Proposal and resulting Master Price Agreement that Participating Agencies may buy directly from Successful Proposers without the need for further solicitation.
However, Participating Agencies are urged to seek independent review by their legal counsel to ensure compliance with all local and state solicitation requirements as well as the need of further notice prior to utilizing the Master Price Agreement
1.6 BACKGROUND OF NPPGov
NPPGov, owned by two non-profit healthcare organizations, provides group purchasing opportunities and purchasing administrative support for governmental entities and nonprofit institutions within its membership.
NPPGov’s membership includes participating public and nonprofit entities across North America.
1.7 EQUAL OPPORTUNITY
The LOC encourages Minority and Women-owned Small Business Proposers to submit proposals.

AND RELATED SERVICES
Solicitation No. 2535
Intent
The League of Oregon Cities (LOC) served as Lead Agency to solicit proposals for Medical Products, Monitors, Software, Data Transmission, and Related Services. 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
LOC has determined that it is advantageous for LOC to procure Medical Products, Monitors, Software, Data Transmission, and Related Services 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) to LOC and its members.
Procedure
LOC issued an RFP (2535) on May 12, 2025.
The RFP was posted to the following websites: orcities.org and nppgov.com on May 12, 2025.
The RFP was published in the DJC Oregon on May 12, 2025.

The second RFP close date extension was extended through August 4, 2025.
