BidPulsar Analysis
A practical, capture-style breakdown of fit, requirements, risks, and next steps.
This notice is a public notice of intent to use a cooperative contract for a purchase exceeding $250,000. The Finance Dept – Purchasing Division (C0334209) indicates the planned purchase is for ballistic vests and carriers. The response deadline shown is 2026-02-10T15:00:00+00:00, but the notice text reads as an intent to use an existing cooperative contract rather than a competitive solicitation. The key action is to verify whether vendors can still influence the procurement (e.g., challenge/feedback window) or whether only the selected cooperative contract holder can supply.
Use an existing cooperative contract vehicle to acquire ballistic vests and carriers with a total value in excess of $250,000, while satisfying public notice requirements for that purchasing approach.
- Confirm the cooperative contract vehicle being used (contract source, contract number, and awarded vendor).
- Define required ballistic vest and carrier configurations (models, threat levels, sizing, quantities, accessories).
- Validate compliance needs (e.g., standards/certifications required for ballistic protection) as specified in the attachment/notice detail.
- Plan order logistics (delivery locations, lead times, fitting/program management if applicable) as allowed under the cooperative contract.
- Execute purchase under the cooperative contract (PO/ordering process) and document justification/notice compliance for >$250,000 purchase.
- Download and review the attachment from the OregonBuys notice (file #667384) for the specific cooperative contract details and any stated comment/protest process.
- If allowed: submit a written inquiry/objection per the notice instructions (timing, format, and recipient) focused on the cooperative contract selection and scope fit.
- If you are the cooperative contract holder: provide product line items for ballistic vests and carriers, lead times, and ordering instructions aligned to the cooperative contract terms.
