ORS 279B.085
Special procurements


(1)

As used in this section and ORS 279B.400 (Protests and judicial review of approvals of special procurements):

(a)

“Class special procurement” means a contracting procedure that differs from the procedures described in ORS 279B.055 (Competitive sealed bidding), 279B.060 (Competitive sealed proposals), 279B.065 (Small procurements) and 279B.070 (Intermediate procurements) and is for the purpose of entering into a series of contracts over time or for multiple projects.

(b)

“Contract-specific special procurement” means a contracting procedure that differs from the procedures described in ORS 279B.055 (Competitive sealed bidding), 279B.060 (Competitive sealed proposals), 279B.065 (Small procurements) and 279B.070 (Intermediate procurements) and is for the purpose of entering into a single contract or a number of related contracts on a one-time basis or for a single project.

(c)

“Special procurement” means, unless the context requires otherwise, a class special procurement, a contract-specific special procurement or both.

(2)

Except as provided in subsection (3) of this section, to seek approval of a special procurement, a contracting agency shall submit a written request to the Director of the Oregon Department of Administrative Services or the local contract review board, as applicable, that describes the contracting procedure, the goods or services or the class of goods or services that are the subject of the special procurement and the circumstances that justify the use of a special procurement under the standards set forth in subsection (4) of this section.

(3)

When the contracting agency is the office of the Secretary of State or the office of the State Treasurer, to seek approval of a special procurement, the contracting agency shall submit a written request to the Secretary of State or the State Treasurer, as applicable, that describes the contracting procedure, the goods or services or the class of goods or services that are the subject of the special procurement and the circumstances that justify the use of a special procurement under the standards set forth in subsection (4) of this section.

(4)

The director, a local contract review board, the Secretary of State or the State Treasurer may approve a special procurement if the director, board, Secretary of State or State Treasurer finds that a written request submitted under subsection (2) or (3) of this section demonstrates that the use of a special procurement as described in the request, or an alternative procedure prescribed by the director, board, Secretary of State or State Treasurer:

(a)

Is unlikely to encourage favoritism in the awarding of public contracts or to substantially diminish competition for public contracts; and

(b)

Intentionally left blank —Ed.

(A)

Is reasonably expected to result in substantial cost savings to the contracting agency or to the public; or

(B)

Otherwise substantially promotes the public interest in a manner that could not practicably be realized by complying with requirements that are applicable under ORS 279B.055 (Competitive sealed bidding), 279B.060 (Competitive sealed proposals), 279B.065 (Small procurements) or 279B.070 (Intermediate procurements) or under any rules adopted thereunder.

(5)

Public notice of the approval of a special procurement must be given in the same manner as provided in ORS 279B.055 (Competitive sealed bidding) (4).

(6)

If a contracting agency intends to award a contract through a special procurement that calls for competition among prospective contractors, the contracting agency shall award the contract to the offeror the contracting agency determines to be the most advantageous to the contracting agency.

(7)

When the director, a local contract review board, the Secretary of State or the State Treasurer approves a class special procurement under this section, the contracting agency may award contracts to acquire goods or services within the class of goods or services in accordance with the terms of the approval without making a subsequent request for a special procurement.
