Public Notice Participate Omnia

Provide a public notice regarding the agency’s intent to participate in OMNIA, likely to establish or use cooperative purchasing arrangements, but the brief does not include the intended commodity/service category or the action required of vendors beyond meeting the stated deadline.

• Firms that already hold relevant OMNIA agreements and can support public transit district needs, once Cherriots clarifies which OMNIA category(ies) this notice covers.
• Vendors with prior experience selling through cooperative purchasing programs, contingent on confirmation that a vendor response is actually being solicited.

• Confirm what “Participate Omnia” means for Cherriots (e.g., cooperative contract usage, notice of intent, vendor enrollment, or related procurement action).
• Identify whether vendors must submit a response by 2025-07-22 11:00 (UTC), and what form that response takes (letter of interest, comments, capability statement, etc.).
• Request/obtain any referenced OMNIA contract numbers, categories, or awarded supplier lists relevant to Cherriots’ intended purchases.
• If a response is required: prepare a concise submission aligned to the agency’s stated participation/notice requirements once provided.

• A confirmation of the required submission type and instructions associated with “Public Notice Participate Omnia.”
• A short cover letter referencing the notice title (“Public Notice Participate Omnia”) and the issuing agency (Salem Area Mass Transit District–Cherriots), if a response is required.
• Evidence of relevant OMNIA participation/contract status (only if Cherriots confirms this is required for the notice response).
• Point of contact information for follow-up before the 2025-07-22 11:00 (UTC) deadline.
