[orcpplink]Surplus property offerings 01/09/2023

Dear Procurementarians,

Happy New Year everybody! As you may have noticed, the costs for goods out in the world have been spiraling out of control. One thing that remains fairly consistent is the prices at Surplus Property. When trying to keep costs in check, we have incorporated several different strategies that help to keep the “Service Charges” as low as possible. A couple of ways we’ve accomplished this is to screen property that is in close proximity to us, which keeps shipping costs down as much as possible. Along those same lines, we have entered into price agreements with shipping brokers that can secure the best pricing for us.

Inflation hits everybody to a certain degree, and we are certainly not immune. We are doing our darndest to find the best property for the least amount of money, and we are still able to keep Service Charges from getting out of hand. If we don’t think we can keep the Service Charge under control, we don’t screen it. We have been hitting the west coast locations pretty hard, and they have been making some very nice items available. We do look forward to the day when inflation abates to a realistic level so that we can screen even more locations. But until then, we will continue to bring in quality affordable items, and make them available to agencies and nonprofit organizations throughout Oregon.

With that being said, please take a look at some items that have come into the Surplus warehouse lately!

Tap and Die kits

Ah, yes, the good ‘old tap and die set. You would need to break this out when you’ve boogered (real word) up a bolt or bolt hole, and having a quality set could mean the difference between being the best day of your life, or the worst. We have recently acquired 5 sets of Little Giant 23 piece kits, complete with a metal storage box. The Oregon Number on these is 22-342-02, and 3 sets are new and 2 sets are slightly used. The Service Charge is $350.00 per kit (originally $1,238 per kit).

Hilti Tool Bags

The next item is for some Hilti tool bags. These are extremely handy when working on something remote from a tool box. These are 13" x 11", zipper closure, with carry handles and a shoulder strap. These are water resistant, tear resistant fabric, and are new/unused. The Oregon Number is 22-355-01, and we currently have 25 of these in stock. You can have these in any color you like, as long as it’s red.

Hatz Diesel Engine

The next items are some Hatz diesel engines, model 1B30-X228. These are air cooled, four stroke, single cylinder, and are unused in the box. They come with workshop manual and instruction books. The Oregon Number is 22-287-02, we have 5 of these in stock, and were originally $3,348.00. The Service Charge on these is $1,000.00 apiece.

Tile Cutters

What say we do this the easy way? We have some Marshalltown 12" PVC tile cutters, model VCT12. These have diecast aluminum bases, adjustable high carbon steel blades, built in casters and rubber feet for stationary use. These also feature an adjustable 45-degree miter guide, are unused in box, and come with instruction manuals (<<< What is an ‘instruction manual’? I don’t know…). The Oregon Number on these is 22-344-01, we have 14 on hand, and the Service Charge is $75.00 apiece.

Jabsco Searchlight

Next up we have some Jabsco 62040-4002 Marine 180 Remote Control 7-Inch Spot and Flood Beam Searchlights (12-Volt, 15-Amp, 18 Lux at 330-Feet, Standard Base). I know, that’s a lot of information, but I do know that while these are made for marine applications, you can use these anywhere you have a 12v power source. These were initially purchased for $913 apiece, and you can find them online for an average price of $1,200.00. These are new/unused, the Oregon Number is 22-184-01, the Service Charge is just $75.00 for the complete set, and we have 14 in stock.

First Aid Kits

This next item is for unused General First Aid Kits. When you click on the photo to look at them in Reuse, it will show the inventory list and dates. What you probably won’t see is whiskey or duct tape. The state would probably take a dim view of that. They’d probably sell pretty quick if we could though. The Oregon Number on these is 23-014-01, we have about 80 kits left in stock, and the Service Charge is just $15.00 apiece!

Hinged Soap Dishes

These little hinged boxes are 4" x 2.5" x 1.5", and while they’re meant to contain a bar of soap, I’m sure they can be used for other things as well; as small part storage, a little box to hold crayons, and yes, even a bar of soap. These would be great to pass out to homeless individuals or campers. The Oregon Number on these is 23-004-01, they are $10.00 per case (sold by the case of 100 only….that’s like .10 cents apiece!), and we currently have 48 cases in stock.

Okay, I have some items that have either just come in or are somewhat “unique”, so I’m going to rapid fire them here. If you’re interested in any of these items, just give us a call and we can answer any questions you may have. As usual, just click on the picture, and it will open up a whole world of information in Reuse.

Hand washing stations that look like little houses or sheds or something. These come with 2 each handwashing stations in each building (one for men and one for women? I don’t know). These don’t have doors, but who needs doors? You’re washing your hands. If you need privacy to wash your hands, maybe hang a blanket.

Anyhow, the Oregon Numbers on these is 23-017-02A and B, 23-017-03, 23-017-04A and B, and the Service Charge is $500.00 each.

These are guard station/really small offices that are completely portable (see the forklift slots along the bottom?) These have just come in, and there are three of them available. There are two doors, and while there appears to be a place for an air conditioner, there isn’t one BUT they are completely wired inside.

The Oregon Number on these is 23-077-01 A, B and C, and the Service Charge is $4000 each.

These are big generators on big trailers. I know they look invisible seeing how they’re camouflaged and all, but trust me they’re there. Whenever we get requests for generators, they always want a 100 KW or larger, so here you go. These are all rated at 100 KW, and they appear to be mostly new, with no or very few hours and they still have protective wrap on certain parts.

The Oregon Number on these is 23-018-01A, B and C, and the Service Charge is $7500 each.

These are portable walk-in coolers, each with their own cooler unit attached. You don’t HAVE to use them exclusively as coolers, you could just use them as storage units and not even use the air chillers. But let’s say you’re a nonprofit organization and you want to serve food at Octoberfest, but there’s no way to store your perishable items….or IS there? Other vendors would be so jelly! You just need a forklift to move it around, but I know where you can get one (purchased separately). We only have 2 units left, so get them while they’re hot! I mean cold. Oh, you know.

The Oregon Number on these is 22-398-01A-E, and the Service Charge is $1200 each.

I know these just look like small Connex boxes, and they are. But inside are the contents of a water purification system that appears to be either unused or very slightly used (mostly unused). There are many pieces of equipment inside that together make up a water purifier system, and TBH this is above my pay grade. I could sit here and fake it until I make it, but that’s a slippery slope when people start to ask item specific questions, so I will just say come on by and take a look inside or take a look at the pictures in Reuse. I will even throw in the user manuals. You’re not going to get a deal like that anywhere else! The federal government paid in excess of $167,000 each for these, the Oregon Number is 23-019-01A and B, and the Service Charge is just $2500 each. When the big one hits, what are you going to do with all those thirsty people?

And while we’re talking about drinking water, let’s talk Water Buffalo’s. You’re going to need something to put that purified potable water in, and these water buffalos are just the thing. Why do they call them water buffalo’s? I don’t know. It’s not important. These are 400 gallon, and we have one (the one pictured) on Oregon Number 22-247-01 with a Service Charge of $1800, and three others that are identical except they have tandem axles and dual tires on Oregon Number 23-029-01A-C with a Service Charge of $1500 each.

<<< You can see 22-247-01 by clicking on the picture

You can see 23-029-01A by clicking here

The last item (finally!) is this Kohler genset model 20REOZJC. This is a 20KW, 208V, 3 Phase. It has a John Deere diesel engine and is unused. The Oregon Number is 22-306-01, and the Service Charge is $2500

[orcpplink]Firearm ammunition - sourcing team members needed 12/29/2022

DAS Procurement Services will be conducting a solicitation for firearm ammunition. The resulting price agreement(s) will be for authorized purchasers including state agencies and Oregon Cooperative Procurement Program (ORCPP) members.

DAS Procurement Services is looking for subject matter experts to provide input on what type(s) of firearm ammunition is needed, delivery requirements, and any challenges that have come up with previous ammunition price agreements in the past.

Subject matter experts will attend meetings (the duration and frequency will be determined during our first meeting) to develop the firearm ammunition specifications, requirements and evaluation criteria that will be used to select the awardee(s) to provide the firearm ammunition.

Agencies and ORCPP members that use firearm ammunition are encouraged to provide a person to assist with this solicitation. DAS Procurement Service’s goal with this solicitation and resulting price agreement(s) is to have a variety of firearm ammunition available to purchase for as many state agencies and ORCPP members as possible. Agency and ORCPP member participation ensures that the resulting price agreement(s) will meet individual agency and ORCPP member needs, and is critical to the success of our efforts. Please contact Melissa Esser at the email or phone number below if you are able to assist.

[orcpplink]Commission for the Blind survey(update) 12/27/2022

Good Morning OrCPP Members,

Thanks to those who has already taken this survey. For the OrCPP members who haven’t completed the survey, please note that this is a way to fulfill legislatively required annual reporting:

ORS 346.530 now requires that agencies and political subdivisions “annually notify the Commission for the Blind in writing of any and all existing locations where vending facilities are in operation or where vending facilities might properly and satisfactorily be operated”.

Did you know the Commission for the Blind has a program designed to help Oregonians who are legally blind start food concession businesses? It’s called the Business Enterprise Program (BEP) and their mission is to provide food service and vending opportunities in government buildings across the State to Oregonians who are blind.

That's awesome! How can I help?

Subject: Lumen and AT&T Contracts ending 12/31/22

Agreements:

#5223 Lumen (formerly Centurylink)

#4124 AT&T

As the year ends, we want to bring to your attention to important information about contracts you may be participating in. The Lumen and AT&T contracts have ended or are in a final transition period. If you are utilizing these contracts your action is required immediately.

AT&T Contract

The AT&T contract with the State of Oregon has expired, there are some remaining services being provided by AT&T at the previously contracted rates, but those services must be immediately moved to a valid contract.

The enterprise AT&T contract and transition period ended August 31, 2021.
Federal Tariff rates apply after contract end (e.g. Long distance .05/min to $2.00/min).
AT&T provided Long Distance, Toll Free, and Conference services.
Remaining Services must be migrated to alternate enterprise contracts. There is a verbal agreement with AT&T to maintain the contracted rates temporarily.

Lumen Changes

The Legacy Lumen contract, also known as CSP #5223 (which included TCPERS) ended December 31, 2021. ORCPP Members utilizing TCPERS Lumen are in a transition period through December 31, 2022.

The legacy phone system support under CSP #5223 (which included MES) Ended on December 31, 2021. The Legacy Lumen systems will receive “best effort” support during 12-month transition period, ending December 31, 2022.

The time to transition away from legacy contracts is now! It takes to convert and port numbers to new telephone systems. DAS and EIS have provided a lot of information regarding telephony services and we are here to assist if you have questions about the changes that need to occur in a short time frame. Please reach out to Enterprise.TelecomMgmt@das.oregon.gov or Rachel.r.smith@das.oregon.gov with any questions or requests for assistance.

[orcpplink]COOP software contract changes 11/21/2022

Good Afternoon ORCPP Members,

To: State Agencies and ORCPP Members

Subject: Contract changes for Continuity of Operations Planning (COOP) Software

Agreement: #5776 BOLDplanning Inc

As the year ends, we want to bring to your attention to important information about contracts you may be participating in. The BOLDplanning COOP contract is reaching end of term.

The Department of Administrative Services is in final contract negotiations with a new vendor to provide Continuity of Operations Planning software. Veoci, a cloud-based platform for emergency management, business continuity, continuity of operations planning, team collaboration, and daily operations is slated to be the new vendor.

The current contract with BOLD Planning is set to expire on December 31, 2022, and it is expected that the new contract will be in place prior to that time. Data that is currently stored with BOLD Planning is scheduled to be electronically transferred to the new platform. In an abundance of caution, it is recommended that each entity currently using the BOLD Planning system download a current version of its information.

All entities that currently have access to the BOLD Planning software through the state of Oregon will be able to access the new software. This includes tribes, counties, cities, and state agencies. Funding for the software will be paid by a combination of sources including grant funds contributed by OEM.

As soon as the final contract has been signed, additional information will be made available as to when the transfer of data will occur along with training opportunities.

Please reach out to Rachel.r.smith@das.oregon.gov with any questions or requests for assistance.

The Department of Administrative Services, Procurement Services (DAS PS) wishes to inform agency Authorized Purchasers of the successful reinstatement and amendment of the statewide price agreement with uWork.com, dba Covendis, PA 9436.

As previously announced, the NASPO IT Vendor Managed Services agreements Lead State had chosen not to extend the NASPO Master Agreements past the then current term end date of August 31, 2022. DAS PS successfully utilized the Special Procurement contracting method to enter into a Direct Award with Covendis, Oregon’s current IT Managed Services Provider.

DAS PS also negotiated successfully to allow existing WOC survivability. Work Order Contracts (WOC) issued before the expiration of the NASPO Master Agreements and under Oregon’s Participating Addendum (PA) #9436, survived the expiration of the NASPO Master Agreement and remain active and intact.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

[orccplink]Surplus Property 09/20/2022

Dear Procurementarians,

Long time no hear! I know it’s been a long time……we have had a busy Surplus season, trying to get caught up on things happening around here; things that are very “behind the scenes”. One of our biggest challenges has been to get property that wouldn’t break the bank in shipping costs. Even with shipping being hideously expensive and inflation going through the roof, we have still managed to bring in a large amount of property. By screening locations that are relatively close to us, we have still been able to locate some very desirable items.

Lately, we have been sourcing a HUGE amount of power tools and equipment, so take a look at all the items below, and let us know if you have any questions!

PS- Sorry this is so dang long….like I said, it’s been a while.

Power Tools

We have struck the mother lode of power tools lately. Below are the Oregon Number’s, a brief description of what they are, with additional notes in parenthesis if you’d like more information. Also, if you click on the Oregon Number, it will take you to Reuse where you can see photo’s of the item, and you can read the description again, but only if you’re okay with redundancy.

22-328-05 Porter Cable Palm Sander model 330. 1/4 sheet. 120V. 1.2 amp. Corded with instruction booklet. Appears unused in box. (Does anybody know how long it takes for a life line to grow back? Somebody was wanting to know).

22-328-19 DeWalt 14.4V cordless drill. Comes with carry case, 2 batteries and charger. (The thing that charges batteries, NOT the car. I have to be SO specific).

22-328-12 DeWalt 1/2" right angle drill model DW124. 120V. 11.5amp. Corded. Comes with carry case. Appears to be unused. (We seem to be all out of left angle drills).

22-328-06 DeWalt 1/4 sheet palm sander with dust collection bag model D26441K. 120V. 2.4A. Corded. Comes with carry case. Appears to be in unused condition. (I think I just found my life line).

22-328-15 Bosch jig saw model 1587AVS. 120V. 5A. Corded. Comes with carry case. Appears to be in unused condition. (This one puzzles me).

22-328-09 DeWalt jig saw model DW331. 120V. 6.5A. Corded. Comes with carry case. Appears to be in unused condition. (The same thing, only different).

22-328-13 DeWalt Reciprocating Saw model DW310. Corded. 120V. 12amp. Comes with carry case. Appears to be in unused condition. (My feelings go back and forth with this one)

22-328-16 DeWalt Reciprocating Saw model DW310. Corded. 120V. 12amp. Comes with carry case. Appears to be in unused condition. (My feelings go back and forth with this one again)

22-328-02 Skil 1/2" variable speed corded hand drill model 6330. 120V. 5amp. Appear to be unused. (Because we’re all out of foot drills).

22-328-10 DeWalt rotary hammer drill model D25404K. Corded. Comes with carry case, chuck and adapter. Appears to be in unused condition. (I don’t think Chuck will fit in the carry case though….).

22-328-22 Makita 9/16" corded hammer drill model HP1501. 115V. 5amp. Comes with carry case. Appears to be in unused condition. (I’m confused…... Is it a hammer, or a drill? Or a corded hammer? Better look at this one carefully….).

22-328-08 DeWalt 18V cordless drill model DC668. Comes with carry case, charger and 2 batteries. Used. Working condition unknown. (We don’t know if this works. Maybe Chuck can help you out?).

22-328-03 DeWalt 12V cordless drill model DC727. Comes with carry case, charger and 2 batteries. Appears to be unused. (IOW, it looks like it’s new).

22-328-24 Various sawzalls. 2 Milwaukees model 6536-21. 2 Porter Cables model 747. 1 Porter Cable model 738. These are all corded and come with carry case. These are all used. Applied working condition unknown. (They applied for the job, but they didn’t work out….so they ended up here).

22-328-07 DeWalt chipping hammer model DW551. 120V. 10.8/7.5A. Corded. Used. Works. Comes with carry case. Applied working condition unknown. (I feel the need…..the need for safety glasses).

22-328-04 Makita disk sander model GA7911. Takes 7" or 9" disk. 115V. 15A. Corded. Appears to be in unused condition. (Why would you want to sand disks? I don’t get it….)

22-328-18 DeWalt 36V cordless hammer drill model DC900KL. Comes with carry case, 2 batteries and charger. Applied working condition unknown. (Another confused power tool. It doesn’t come with a cord, so…..a drill that you hammer with. No, a hammer that you drill with. I’m done.).

21-307-03P Ridgid Universal quick open Die Head, 2.5" - 4" for 1224, PN: 26152 (Is it me, or is “Ridgid Universal” kind of an oxymoron? Shouldn’t it be something like “Ridgid Inflexible”?)

21-307-03O Ridgid Universal quick open Die Head, (811A) PN: 97065, 1/8" - 2"/3-50mm (We are currently out of the “slow open’ model).

21-307-03M Ridgid heavy duty pipe cutter, Mdl: 1-A, 32810, 1/8" - 1 1/4" / 3-32mm (Pipe not included).

21-307-03H Mathey Dearman pipe clamp, alignment and reforming tube and pipe, 9" - 12" (I cannot tell you how little I know about this. I could probably Google it, but anything with the word “reforming” in the description puts me off a little).

22-263-01 Pulse Tech 490PT advanced battery conductance analyzer. Comes with case. Replaced 9v battery and tested on 12v battery. Appears to be in working condition. (An “advanced battery conductance analyzer”. Sounds smarter than me, but I’m better at kick boxing).

21-307-03N Ridgid heavy duty pipe cutter, Mdl: 3-S, 32830, 1" - 3" (You have no idea how hard it is to spell “Ridgid” and not “Rigid”)

21-056-02 Ridgid Tool Co., Ridgid Gear Threader, Mdl: 141/NPT - HS, 2 1/2" - 4"/62-100 MM, CAT # 36620, (Here we go with “Ridged” again, twice in one sentence!)

22-318-01 DeWalt reciprocating saw model DC385 18V XRP. Cordless. Comes with battery, charger and case. Unused. (Cord sold separately).

22-318-02 DeWalt reciprocating saw model DW 307M. Corded. Comes with case. Unused. (If you’re not careful, you’ll turn this into a cordless tool).

22-296-01 Milwaukee plumbers 7 piece self-feed bit set in plastic carry case with handle. These appear to be in new condition. (Self-feed, so this is kind of like giving a toddler some Cheerios? So give this to a plumber and…..?)

22-233-01 Gray Transmission Jack. Model MM-2000A. 2206 lbs. capacity. Appears new in box. (“Gray” is the manufacturer, not the color. Although they are gray…I mean grey….and doesn’t pick up anything that weighs 2207 pounds or more).

22-305-01 US Jack hydraulic bottle jack. 10,000 lbs. cap. Comes with jack handle and instructions. These appear to be unused in box. (So why would you want to jack up a hydraulic bottle? I mean we’re either talking a really big bottle or serious overkill on the capacity).

21-445-01 Portable Hydraulic Drill, Stanley Hydraulic Tools, Mdl: DL07550. Includes user's manual and chuck. Unused. (Cordless. Because it’s hydraulic. But it comes with Chuck again!)

22-151-01 McKissick- The Crosby Group Block & Tackle N-418 6 IN RB 5/8" & 3/4" Wire rope size, WLL: 8.0T @ 4:1 6.4T @ 5:1, 108154 Appear to be unused. (I know that somebody knows what all of this means, but sorry, I just don’t care).

22-314-01 OPW Automatic fuel dispensing nozzle. Model 1290. These appear to be unused in box. (Ridiculously priced fuel sold elsewhere).

21-399-01 Raycon Industries Nozzle Assembly, Closed Circuit Refueling. Appears to be unused. (Same as above, only different).

22-307-01 Levelok quick connect ladder leveler. Model LL-STB-2QC. These appear to be unused in box. (I didn’t know what these were, so I looked at the picture on the box. I still don’t know what they are, so I ordered 132 of them).

22-335-01 Gorilla Ladders model GLX-5B. Type 1A. 5'7" high. 300Lb capacity. Comes with removable project bucket. Appears to be in unused condition. (We took a bit of a gamble on these, because we honestly don’t know how many of you have gorilla’s).

21-529-01 Waterloo Tool Chest, 10 drawer, new in box (Oh that’s just great. Now I have an ABBA earworm stuck in my head…whoa whoa whoa whoa Waterloo stop please.)

Truck Tires

The next item are these unused Goodyear Marathon RSA tires, size 10R22.5, load range G. By my estimations, these tires are only a couple of years old, so there’s plenty of life left in them. We only have 64 of these in stock, so now is a great time to peel off those old bald tires and replace them with some new treads before the winter season sets in.

Installation not included….I’ve already paid my dues mounting/dismounting these. The Oregon Number is 22-220-05, and the Service Charge is just $100 apiece!

B&S Generator

The next item we have is a Briggs & Stratton Elite Series portable generator, with electric start, 10,000 Watts. One tire is flat (probably because it hasn’t had the winter air put in it yet), and it appears to be new/unused. You don’t have to live like the Ingalls, just fire this bad boy up, get that hybrid car battery charged up and you’re off and running! This is Oregon Number 22-016-01, and the Service Charge is $800.00.

A Couple Of Big Plastic Water Tanks

Now we have a couple of big ‘ol water storage tanks. Oregon Number 22-232-01 is a Snyder Industries Inc. 525 gallon water storage tank, and the other Oregon Number is 22-232-02 Duracast Products 200 gallon water storage tank. The Service Charge on these is $350.00 and $250.00 respectively. I don’t know that anything (let alone water) has been stored in these, as they look new/unused. Now if you go putting water is these, and you grow a third eye or something without rinsing these out first, don’t say I didn’t warn you..

Jabsco Remote Controlled Searchlights

These remote controlled searchlights are new in box, the Oregon Number is 22-184-01, and the Service Charge is $75.00 apiece! They are 7” diameter spot and flood beam, and the original acquisition is a little over $900 for these……yikes! And you’re getting them for $75.00?! That’s just crazy.

Toro Snowblowers

This is how we roll at Surplus Property……air conditioners in the middle of winter, snow blowers in summer (it is still technically summer). But don’t catch yourself off-guard for when we get that 6’ snow storm. These are Toro Power Clear, Model 38581, R*Tek 2 cycle 141 CC Engine, 21" width, and if you buy this today, I will throw in the key at no extra cost! We have two of these, the Oregon Number is 22-184-01 and -02, and the Service Charge is just $50.00 apiece!

These items are spill clean-up kits. These contain items such as absorbent, containment booms, tarps, etc. It appears these would have enough room inside to put things like gloves, HAZMAT suits, and things like that….personalize your HAZMAT spill kit! Make it your own! All of this comes in a big plastic barrel with a quick release band/top that will never come off as fast as the chemical spill inching closer to the bosses office, but it’s better than nothing. These would be extremely handy in most any situation where you store chemicals & other nasty substances. The Oregon Number on these is 21-314-01, and the Service Charge is just $50.00 apiece! Yes, including the barrel! I know, it’s crazy, but that’s just how we are.

Canteens

Lastly (almost) we have these brand new Oasis 4 quart canteens, just in time for winter! They appear to be aluminum, and (believe it or not) these come with a screw-on lid on a chain! I’m feeling pretty generous today, so with every canteen sold I will throw in a carry strap at no additional charge! I know, it’s crazy, just don’t let my boss know. The Oregon Number on these is 22-362-01, and the Service Charge is just $5.00! We only have 1,280 of these in stock, so get ‘em while they’re…..get ‘em while they’re cold!

Meanwhile, on the state side of the warehouse……

We have received several (if several means 5) personnel and equipment carriers from Forestry. These are International’s with big boxes on back that have seats like a school bus and equipment lockers to carry all of the gear in. One of these is a cab-and-chassis (no big box on the back), so you can customize it the way you’d like…..water truck, dump truck, the possibilities are endless!

If you are interested in one of these bad boys, give Tim Dunayevich a call (his contact information is down below) and he will give you all the details!

Fun fact time…..

So far this year, Surplus Property has transferred (and agencies have acquired) over 2,558 cases of MRE’s. That translates to 30,696 individual meals, or enough individual pouches that would stretch down the street and back (it’s a pretty long street). We are going to try and have these in stock at any given time, but if you are wanting some for your agency, feel free to check our inventory through Reuse (just type “MRE” into the search field), or submit a “Want List” request for some. If we don’t have what you need, we can put you on a list for the next time we do get some.

From our work family to yours, we thank you for the support of the Surplus Property program. We appreciate your patronage!

Did you know……

Surplus Property can sell your higher-valued assets (vehicles, heavy equipment, or items with a value of $1,000 or more)! By using Surplus Property to sell your assets, you will get the exposure of two worldwide online auction providers, as well as the knowledge and expertise of a professional marketing staff dedicated to maximizing returns for your items.

To make this happen, all we need is an Intergovernmental Agreement between us. Your items can be sold at our Salem warehouse location, or they can even be sold at your location! If you would like more information, take a look at the Intergovernmental Agreement here, and if you have any questions, feel free to contact our office and we’ll fill you in on the details!

That’s about all I have for now.

[orcpplink] OrCPP Link Covendis 08/17/2022

Good Morning ORCPP Members,

uWork.com – Covendis

Title: IT Vendor Managed Services Provider

Category: IT Hourly and Project/Deliverable Based Professional Services

Participating Addendum: #9436

Vendor: uWork.com, dba Covendis

The Department of Administrative Services, Procurement Services (DAS PS) wishes to inform agency Authorized Purchasers of recent developments with the NASPO IT Vendor Managed Services agreements. The Lead State has chosen not to extend the NASPO Master Agreements past the current term end date of August 31, 2022. DAS PS intends to utilize the Special Procurement contracting method to enter into a Direct Award with Covendis, Oregon’s current IT Managed Services Provider. DAS PS will also be negotiating to allow existing WOC survivability. It is DAS PS’s goal to move as quickly as possible to put a replacement agreement for these services in place for our agency customers.

Work Order Contracts (WOC) issued under Oregon’s Participating Addendum (PA) #9436 can survive the expiration of the Master Agreement and the PA with Covendis. Refer to Section 8.3 of the PA for detail. What that means is that any agency that has an existing WOC that they wish to amend for any reason, including extending the term of the WOC, can execute Amendments before the expiration of Oregon’s PA #9436 expires August 31, 2022. No new WOCs, or amendments to existing WOCs are allowed for any reason past the expiration date of the PA.

Please let me know if you have any questions. I plan to send out another Buyer’s Link message in a few weeks with an update. Thank you. Debbie

[orcpplink]DAS Surplus 07/19/2022

Dear Procurementarians,

I just wanted to get a quick word out regarding HMMWV (aka Humvee’s) being made available through the federal government. We are seeing a big push on these (there are 50 of them at Fort Lewis Washington alone), we have one currently in stock, and we’ll have three more coming to us in the next couple of weeks. What I wanted to get to is that in the very near future these won’t be available anymore, at least in the numbers and configurations we’re seeing now, as the military is fazing these out.

The ones that don’t get allocated to donee’s will eventually be auctioned off to the public. If there was ever a good time to acquire one for your agency, now is the time. We’ve been transferring these to police departments (many are gussied up as outreach rigs, parade queens, etc.), fire departments have been equipping and using them as emergency brush rigs, and some local highway departments reportedly use these as battering rams to clear up traffic jams…..just kidding, police departments don’t use these much. But they could!

If you’ve been thinking about adding one of these to your fleet, now is a good time. If you need any other information, contact our Agency Liaison Tim Dunayevich at 971-301-0193 or tim.dunayevich@das.oregon.gov, and he can get you fixed up.

Have a great weekend everybody!

[orcpplink]Correction on Eugene School District furniture surplus event- it's Tuesday and Wednesday 06/30/2022

THE DATES OF THE EVENT ARE TOMORROW! June 28 and 29th. Sorry for the confusion!

NOTE: The previously solicitated surplus event at Camas Ridge on July 12 and 13 has been cancelled.

Eugene School District 4J will be hosting a surplus event on June 28 and 29th, 2022, at the Willard School, located at 2855 Lincoln St, Eugene, OR 97405. The event will be open from 9:00 am - 3:00 pm both days.

NEW ITEMS have been added from the posting we made about a month ago -- more desks, tables, chairs, and other school fixtures that we were not in the original listing.

This event will be open to the general public and we of course invite all school districts, charter/private schools, and government agencies to stop by to see if anything is of interest to your organization.

4J staff on site will be extremely limited, so please come prepared to carry out and haul away any items claimed.

DIRECTIONS: Located behind Market of Choice on Willamette Street, there are two school sites off 29th Ave -- one below, and one higher up on a hill. This surplus event will be taking place at Willard, which is the site higher up on the hill.

Please contact Dustin at warehouse@4j.lane.edu if you have any questions. Thank you!

[orcpplink]Action required if you use price agreement 8345 for household hazardous waste 06/22/2022

Beginning August 13, 2022 Price Agreement 8345 – Universal and Household Hazardous Waste will no longer be available for use.

As per Price Agreement Section 1.5.5 Purchase Order Contracts issued prior to this end date will survive the Price Agreement and will be honored accordingly.

Please be sure all Purchase Order Contracts are issued and fully executed in their entirety by end of business on August 13, 2022.

The State of Oregon intends to re-solicited for these services, but there is potential for gap in services between the end date of PA 8345 and the beginning of a new agreement.

Under MCUA and Oregon Cooperative Procurement Program (ORCPP) memberships, customers could potentially secure similar services through Washington Master Contract # 03614.

Additional options are to write a direct award, perform a three quote process or a mini solicitation in accordance with Oregon State Law.

If you have questions or concerns regarding this matter please reach out to Nancy Doll

[orcpplink]Is your organization on this list? Please take a moment to check 05/25/2022

Good Day

For most of you this “ask” will take just a few seconds, and for those of you that do find your organization on the list below – the ORCPP Team needs your help with completing a task.

Not on the list? Then you are done and do not need to do anything further.
If your organization is listed below, then we respectfully ask that you do the following as soon as possible as our window to complete IGA document transfers from the retired system ORPIN to OregonBuys closes May 31, 2022

Background: The State of Oregon moved to a new e-procurement system - OregonBuys (replaced ORPIN on July 1, 2021).

Purpose of this communication: The State of Oregon and the Oregon Cooperative Purchasing Program are required enter the OrCPP IGA we have with your organization in the new system OregonBuys, and to do that, we need your organization to register as a “vendor” in system.

OregonBuys has TWO Sides:

Vendor or Supplier Side: Where OrCPP members need to register so that DAS PS and your OrCPP IGA can be loaded by us, and your organization will/can use this side of the system to browse Grant and RFA opportunities posted by State Agencies.

Buyer Side: This side is for shopping off of State contracts and using the system to post your organization’s bidding opportunities. If you need access to search available contracts and post notices please send a request to be added on the buyer side to: info.orcpp@das.oregon.gov (DAS PS is the only entity that can grant access permissions to this side of system).

NOTE: These two sides will have completely different logins. You will want to keep them separate, depending on how and what you use the system for.

Here’s what to expect as you register on the vendor side of OregonBuys:

Go to: OregonBuys and click on the BLUE Register button in the top right corner

You will need your organization’s EIN (as the system only allows one organizational registration)

This should not take more than 5 minutes to complete the registration. If you are having trouble registering your organization on the Vendor Side, please contact vendor/supplier support at: support.oregonbuys@das.oregon.gov or by calling 855-800-5046

Once your organization has completed the Vendor Registration in OregonBuys, please send a quick email to: Anya.Corbitt@das.oregon.gov and let her know you have finished registering on the Vendor side of OregonBuys.

Watch for announcements of upcoming webinars on “Getting the most out of OregonBuys and its functionality”.

Data Classification Level 2 - Limited

[orcpplink]MRE"s are coming 05/13/2022

It's time once again to make you aware that we are going to be getting tons and tons of MRE's very soon. We have been allocated 180 pallets, which…is a lot. We don't really have room for 180 pallets here at Surplus Property, but 2 lots (72 pallets) have already been spoken for from our “Want List", and are being shipped direct to their respective donee agencies. This is really a great time to score some MRE's for your agency/organization, as we never know exactly when we will get more. Fortunately, these are located fairly close to us (Northern California), so despite the outrageous cost of fuel (and subsequent shipping costs), we are able to stick to our regular price of just $10 per case! How do we do it??? I don't know!!! We just do!!! You can purchase by the case, by the pallet (photo to the left is 2 pallets, 96 cases), by the truckload (1,728 cases)…..you have options! And let's just get this out of the way…..you cannot purchase for your doomsday prepper bunker. People always ask, and it's okay to ask, but these can only be sold to your agency/organization for their use. And no, you can't buy them from them either.

If you're interested in getting some of these for your agency, nonprofit organization or Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB), you must be eligible to purchase through the StateofOregonDepartmentofAdministrativeServicesEnterpriseAssetManagementStateandFederalSurplusPropertyProgram. If you're not sure, contact our eligibility specialist Carla Jeannette at 503-378-2753 carla.jeannette@das.oregon.gov. It's never good to miss out on an opportunity just because your eligibility has expired.

If you're interested in procuring some of these, contact our agency liaison Tim Dunayevich at 971-301-0193 or tim.dunayevich@das.oregon.gov, and he can get you fixed up! Pallets will begin to arrive early next week, so get your orders in early while supplies last!

[orcpplink]Screening the "want list" and comings/goings at DAS Surplus 05/12/2022

We have a couple of new things happening at state Surplus Property that I wanted to make you aware of. Some of it is new new, and some of it is kind of the same, but new-er. Anyway, please give this a read, and let me know if you have any questions!

Screening Federal Property

We are offering you, as an eligible agency, the chance to shop for federal Donation property for your agency/organization. Who if not you knows best about the kind of property you need to carry out your missions? Picture this: we give you login credentials to go into the federal government website (GSAXcess) where all the federal government property lives, and you look for property for your agency. If you are allocated property, you make your own shipping arrangements (or pick it up yourselves), pay a small Service Charge to us (because we still need to do administrative work), all for a discounted Service Charge.

How would it all work?

As an eligible agency in good standing, you would request login credentials (username and password) to gain access into GSAXcess, which is the federal government website that showcases all the property that is being made available. These credentials are view-only. Once you identify something you’re interested in, you would contact us to find out what the Service Charge would be. If you decide you would like us to request it for you, we will submit the request on your behalf. When the screening cycle ends (known as a “Surplus Release Date”, or SRD), GSA will allocate property to those that have requested it.

So, we’re not guaranteed the items we request?

There are factors that determine if your agency is allocated property. We are the “State Agency for Surplus Property”, or “SASP” for Oregon. For the most part, there is a SASP in each state (and some territories), so there are 50+ SASP’s around the world. Because of shipping costs, you’re probably not going to screen something located in Puerto Rico; likewise, donee’s in Puerto Rico are probably not going to screen items located at Fort Lewis WA. But, there is competition from other SASP’s, as well as the federal government, who can step in at any time and be allocated property. If you spot an item or items that you have an immediate need for, you can supply us with a letter on your agency’s letterhead that states you have an immediate need for the property. We will then forward that on to the person at GSA that allocates property, and if the other requesters don’t have an immediate need, this puts you to the head of the line. In some cases, you may be the only one requesting property, and you will be allocated the item(s) by default.

So how do we get started?

First, you need to be an agency in good standing with Surplus Property (meaning your three-year eligibility is current). Then, you will need login credentials by contacting Mr. Don Tesdal in our office at 503-378-6051 or don.tesdal@das.oregon.gov, and he will get you signed up. Note: Mr. Tesdal will need a good email address, as GSAXcess uses “Multi-factor authentication” to log you in. Watch a brief presentation from GSA located here (less than 2 minutes),and read through a short tutorial on how to screen property located here (only 3 pages WITH PICTURES!)

This is a great opportunity to acquire items for your agency or organization, while saving money in the process. If you would like more information, or simply need clarification on anything covered here, please feel free to contact me and I will be glad to help you out.

The ”Want List”

Surplus Property has revamped the entire Want List process, from beginning to end. Long gone are the days of temperamental PDF’s and submission buttons that don’t work. Lately, we have evolved and taken the “Want List” submission form and made it an integral part of the web page, rather than relying on a separate form. As far as the master list is concerned, we’ve changed the way we track requests on the back end. Most of these changes are ones the typical user will never see, but it helps Surplus staff track requests and get you the items you request for your agency or organization. We’ve also included instructions and examples of the types of property that should be requested through the Want List.

To check out the new Want List submission instructions and form, click here and scroll to the bottom of the page.

Comings and Goings

Earlier in the year, Surplus Property lost our agency salesperson Joe Mannion, as he has accepted a position as Horticulture Director at Buffalo and Erie County Botanical Gardens. Instead of hiring a replacement, our previous agency salesperson Tim Dunayevich is filling Joe’s vacancy, and becoming more of an agency liaison. Tim will not only handle agency sales, but he will be taking on the duties of state screener, and basically anything having to do with agencies, whether purchasing or turning in property.

Lastly, we have a new hire that will be performing a lot of the federal property receiving. His name is Joe Vaillancourt, and he comes to us from the Oregon Department of Revenue. Joe has many years of experience receiving and routing of property and supplies, and he will be busy learning both state and federal property receiving and marketing in the coming weeks.

Be sure to stop by and say “hi” to Joe on your next visit to Surplus Property!

Reminder: Surplus Property is open 8-5PM Monday-Friday for your shopping convenience. We don’t even make you wear masks anymore, so come pay us a visit!

[orcpplink] Loomis CFO impersonator prce agreement 3396 05/10/2022

This is to alert you to be on the lookout for a potential phishing email.

Loomis Armored, which holds DAS PS Price Agreement 3396, recently notified DAS PS that one of its employees responded to a phishing scam email with some customer information. The scammer was impersonating the CFO of Loomis.

The email requested information for Loomis customers with outstanding balances. The response provided customer business names, phone numbers, account balances, the internal Loomis account number, and contact information for the individuals responsible for payment. We do not have a list of any specific customers for whom the information was provided. Since DAS PS received a notice, we assume that some of our customers’ information may have been shared, so we are alerting you out of an abundance of caution. DAS PS does not know if your information was shared with the scammer, or if any purchasers have received emails from the scammer.

While we have shared the notice with DAS Cyber Security Services, DAS PS has not notified any other security team.

If you receive a request to change Loomis’s payment information, or you believe you recently directed a payment to a “new” Loomis account:

Follow your agency’s instructions for reporting phishing emails to the appropriate personnel.

Loomis asks that you contact them at invoicequestion@us.loomis.com or by phone at (844) 578-5728.

Importantly, Loomis stated that it did not send customer banking, credit card or other sensitive information to the scammer. Loomis clarified it does not request this form of information through email, and that it would never request a change in where or how to make your payment without reaching out to you with a formal letter via US mail, or a telephone call.

DAS PS is encouraging Authorized Purchasers to review information on how to spot and avoid phishing attempts.

DAS Cyber Security Services shared the following examples of how to spot emails that are phishing attempts:

The email address is different than the official one.
The domain is misspelled, mismatched, or unusual.
The email contains grammar or spelling mistakes.
The email includes infected attachments or suspicious links.
The message has an unexpected sense of urgency, or tries to get you to panic.
The message requests credentials, payment information or other personal information.
The message has an unfamiliar or unusual greeting or salutation.
The message states the sender has noticed some suspicious activity or log-in attempts.
The message claims there's a problem with your account or your payment information.
The email requires you to confirm some personal information.
The sender wants you to click on a link to make a payment.
The message says you’re eligible to register for a government refund.
The email says your account is on hold because of a billing problem.
The email invites you to click on a link to update your payment details.
The email includes unsolicited or unexpected attachments.

Here are additional resources on how to spot and avoid phishing scams:

[orcpplink]Hand sanitizer: a public service announcement from State Surplus Property 03/24/2022

Dear Procurementarians,

As we start to wind down from the COVID-19 pandemic, you might be thinking of what to do with all the hand sanitizer that’s left over.One thing I have found that I had never given any thought to was that because of the alcohol/flammability properties of hand sanitizer, it is actually considered hazardous waste. Take this federal government language for instance:

“Federal disposal guidelines require all alcohol-based hand sanitizers be treated as hazardous waste due to the ignitability characteristic (40 CFR § 261.21). Proper disposal can only be achieved through a waste hauler qualified to manage hazardous waste”.

https://www.dm.usda.gov/procurement/docs/Final_USDA_Handsanitizer_Guidance.pdf

Given this, we here at Surplus Property ask that agencies NOT send their hand sanitizer to us. We don’t have the facilities or the means to handle mass quantities of this type of product, and nobody needs hand sanitizer anymore. What we have found is that most all counties in Oregon do have the means to dispose of hand sanitizer. I would suggest Googling your county’s solid waste disposal program and following their suggestions. Perhaps, as a coordinated effort, your facilities could do a “milk run” of the various locations, and gather hand sanitizer to take to your local counties drop-off site(I’m not volunteering anybody, it’s just a suggestion, and even then, only if they’re qualified to do so). The bottom line is that there are options available for disposal, but the options that are NOT available are:

Dropping off at Surplus Property
Dumping down the sink
Setting it outside and waiting for it to evaporate
Throwing it in the trash

As I mentioned, I had never given any thought to it, but hopefully now you can too. I’m sure there are others that can speak to this as well (I’m thinking sustainability people), but I just wanted to bring it to your attention, so you’re not stuck with mass quantities of potential hazardous waste.

Thanks everyone, and have a great rest of the week!

[orcpplink]Recent termination notice form Relay Resources 03/14/2022

Many Public Agencies have received a notice from Relay Resources notifying of their intent to stop providing Document destruction service by March 31, 2022. (See Attached)Unfortunately, there is no Oregon Forward Contractor that can provide that service in the Clackamas, Multnomah and Washington County areas. Further, there is no statewide or regional Price Agreement for these services at this time. Relay has indicated some flexibility and may be able to assist in an agencies transition by making an additional pickup a short time after March 31st, but the public agency should contact them at shredding@relayresources.orgto negotiate that possibility.

Public Agencies that have utilized Relay for this service might establish a purchase order for this service with one of the numerous document destruction companies in the Portland Metropolitan area if there is an immediate need for that service after March 31st. Procurement Services is studying the possibility of a statewide Price Agreement, but that process will take several months at least. Conversely, some agencies may wish to solicit for this service by conducting an RFP.

I am sorry for the obvious inconvenience of this announcement.

Contact either myself or Rena Sawyer at rena.sawyer@das.oregon.gov with questions.

Thank you,

[orcpplink] Free: VitalOxide 90/1 gallon jugs 03/10/2022

Dear Procurementarians,

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT to you and me) has a donation they would like to…..donate. They have many 1 gallon jugs of VitalOxide Residential, Commercial & Hospital Disinfectant they would like to find a good home for. This kills harmful bacteria on hard and soft surfaces, and inhibits & keeps mold and mildew from growing for up to 4 weeks. Yes, I just totally plagiarized the label on the outside of the jug in the photo, but it sounded so good, I just couldn’t resist. Also, it is getting close to the expiration date, so plan on using it soon.

If you are interested in some, and can get over to ODOT to pick it up, I’m sure they would be happy to help you out. Rumor has it that these are one gallon jugs, and there are approximately 90 jugs available. The contact person over at ODOT is Jim McIntyre, 503 986-2740. Please, please please, contact Mr. McIntyre if you are interested……if you reply to me saying you’ll take some, there’s not a thing I can do for you. I am just the messenger.

Now, go forth and…disinfect!

[orcpplink]A messge from State Surplus 03/07/2022

Dear Procurementarians, eligible donee's, local governments, nonprofit organizations et al;

I gotta tell ya, lately we have been getting creamed….CREAMED I tell you….with office furniture. You've all seen it. You know what it is. Desks, chairs, file cabinets, book cases, you name it. This prison closes, that office is COVID downsizing, and the results are SEMI-LOADS of office furniture. It's like the Cascade subduction zone and subsequent tsunami of office stuff. So, drastic times call for drastic measures.

If you know me, I don't like to use the “F" word, but here goes…..we are letting items go for fr…..go for fru…..free. There, I said it. Yes, that's right. We are to the point where we will be giving items away for fri….no cost. What's the catch you say? Nothing really that we don't ask of you anyway. Nothing to Draconian, just stipulations. Ready?

You MUST be a donee in good standing with StateofOregonDepartmentofAdministrativeServicesEnterpriseAssetManagementStateandFederalSurplusPropertyProgram (AKA Surplus). This means you need to be an authorized signer on your account (or get a permission slip from one), OR be a SPOTS card holder, and your three year eligibility has not expired. Now is not a good time to find out your eligibility has expired.
You will have to be able to haul your spoils off that very instant. I suggest a pickup or like vehicle. No Prius' (Priusi?) unless you find a box of paperclips in a desk drawer that you MUST have.
No “Holds". What does this mean? No “I'll just put this hold slip on it and I'll come back tomorrow with my husband's/wife's pickup" No. Holds. Allowed.
Fair and equitable distribution. This means you can't take ¾ of the leaning tower of furniture. We need to spread the love and let everybody have a crack at getting no cost stuff.
You will be getting items for your agency/program. If they want to get something and have you take it home because you work from home, my name is Paul and that's between y'all. We are not the WFH police. All accountability is on you and your program. If you want to buy something for your home office, you can shop the General Store where stuff ought to be fre…no cost, because it's so dang cheap! Items in the General Store are 50% off through March 4, so give our cashier a call at 503-378-6037 to make an appointment to shop the General Store.
Speaking of calling…..did you ever offer something for no cost on Craigslist, and somebody calls and starts asking a bunch of questions about it? Like c'mon, it's fffffff……it costs nothing! Ugh, we hate it when people do that to us too! Under normal circumstances we'd be happy to, but these are not normal circumstances, so please, I'm begging you, don't.
Masks and social distancing is still a thing here at Surplus. Yes I know, but please just play along. It's almost over.

Okay, it's not THAT bad. It's stuff we have you do all the time anyway. I can't tell you what all we have, but I can tell you that the reason we're getting so much lately is because of a consolidation and closing of Correctional facilities, so a lot of it is Oregon Corrections Enterprise items….that's the good stuff.

We are open 8:00-5:00 Monday-Friday, and the early bird gets the worm. If you have any questions, just let me know (my contact info is below). If you're not certain of your eligibility status, contact Carla Jeannette at 503-378-2753 carla.jeannette@das.oregon.gov and she can let you know what's up.

That about covers it….oh! This starts at 8:00 AM Wednesday February 16, so come one come all and get stuff for your cubies! Short notice I know. It was for us too.

Thanks everybody, have a great day!

[orcpplink] Associate membership wtih NASASP 01/25/2022

Good Afternoon ORCPP Members,

Here is a message from Darren Kennedy at DAS Surplus:

Dear Procurementarians, Donee’s and distinguished Surplus customers,

It’s that time of year when I introduce your agency/organization/business to the opportunity of becoming a NASASP Associate Member. What is this you ask? Read on!

We (the State of Oregon State and Federal Surplus Property program) are what is known as a “SASP”, or State Agency for Surplus Property. There is one of us, in one form or another, in each state. We belong to a national organization called “NASASP”, or “National Association…”, well, you get the idea. The NASASP serves many functions, but the most direct impact it has on Donee’s is lobbying the federal government to supply quality federal surplus items to agencies such as yours. NASASP is funded through dues paid by the states, as well as dues from associate memberships and corporate sponsors. This is where you come in.

To become an Associate Member involves a $39.00 a year commitment to the NASASP. Instead of me explaining it all, I will instead send you directly to their webpage that explains the reasons and benefits of becoming an Associate Member. You can access this page by clicking here. Participation is a year-by-year commitment, so you’re not locked in to participating every single year afterward; although that would be nice, it is not required. By becoming an annual Associate Member, you help determine the quantity and quality of items that can come to the Oregon SASP.

Now, if you are current eligible Donee with Oregon Surplus property, you may be wondering if your becoming an Associate Member affects your eligibility in any way, and the answer is no, it does not. If you decide to not become an Associate Member with NASASP, it will not affect your eligibility. If you do decide to become a member, it does not automatically make you eligible to be a Donee with Oregon Surplus property. The two things are mutually exclusive, and one doesn’t have anything to do with the other.

So please consider becoming an Associate Member in NASASP, and help determine outcomes that ultimately benefit your community through improved access to quality surplus equipment. If you would like to know more, I have attached a flier to this email, or visit the NASASP website at WWW.NASASP.org.

Thank you all for your time and attention, and if you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

That's awesome! How can I help?

If the answer is 'yes', please complete the survey (https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/MYBMTRB) and reach out to the BEP Business Development Specialist Teresa Field at teresa.field@ocb.oregon.gov to start the conversation.

[orcpplink]More stuff available at Surplus Property 12/14/2021

Dear Procurementarians,

We’ve been receiving some HUGE shipments of items lately, so much so that we’re starting to run out of room. That’s not necessarily a bad problem to have, unless you’re Jennifer the Property Specialist over Federal Donation Property…….if Jennifer has a problem, EVERYBODY has a problem, hence the email.

So, sit back relax and enjoy all of these offerings from your State and Federal Surplus Property program!

Emergency Food

We have received 940 cases of dehydrated (freeze dried) emergency food. These come 6 cans to a case, and there is a huge variety of different foods. I’ve been reading up on these, and the reviews are actually pretty good as far as taste & whatnot is concerned. The nice thing about these is that they are easily stored, and the expiration date….well, there might as well NOT even be one, it’s so far out (June/December 2028). If you click on the image below, it’ll take you to the full description and menu items available. These are specifically made for institutional long term storage (Hospitals, nursing homes, the coat closet in your agency, etc.) In case you’re interested, this is a link to the manufactures website. I would try this myself (because I will usually try anything) and report back, but that’s against the rules.

The Oregon Number on these is 22-049-01, and the Service Charge is $30.00 per case. To see more information on these, as well as contents/menu’s, click on the image below.

“Bugblatter: A rather large creature that likes to eat things. The

Ravenous Bugblatter Beast is so mind-bogglingly stupid that

it thinks that if you can't see it, it can't see you. Therefore, the

best defense against a Bugblatter Beast is to wrap a towel

around your head”. Huh! Good to know.

Cotton-ish Towels

Ah yes, this is another big room taker-upper. So we currently have about 143 bundles of cotton-ish towels in stock, and the storage spaces in the warehouse look like we’re storing giant marshmallows. These towels are 20 X 40, they are 86% cotton (which is where the “ish” comes from), 14% polyester, they’re made in Pakistan……not sure what else to say about these. They’re white-ish. OH, there are 25 dozen to a bundle (that’s 300 towels to you and me). These aren’t the fancy-pants towels you’d find in your linen closet at home, but if you have a prison….or a school….a group home….a place where the people aren’t too picky, these come in super handy. I already gave you seven uses above, so you can cross “getting eaten by a Bugblatter” off your list.

The Oregon Number on these…well, there are several, so if you’re interested just say “Towels” and we’ll know what you’re talking about….they’re not real hard to miss. The Service Charge on one bundle/25 dozen/300 each is $50.00 per bundle…..that’s like 16.5 cents per towel!

Ice Caddies

In true Surplus Property fashion, I bring you ice chests in the middle of winter! I am not above plagiarizing somebody else’s work, so here is the complete description on these, as supplied by the incomparable Jennifer Beyer: “Cambro SlidingLid Ice Caddies, Mdl: ICS200TB110, OD Green, 200# ice capacity, front sliding lid for easy access, double-wall construction made of high density polyethylene for chip and dent resistance, quarter turn faucet on the lower front for water drainage, 34" D x 23" W x 39.5" H. Unused in box - NO casters included.” So, lot’s of uses for these; they would hold a lot of potato salad at your next company picnic, they could hold a lot of body parts for transplant patients, or they could just hold ice….200# according to Jennifer, and they would come in handy for when the sun makes a return, like I’m pretty sure it will, eventually.

The Oregon Number on these is 21-524-01, and the Service Charge on these is $150.00 each. Get ‘em while they’re cold!

Portable Relief Field Station

So much potty humor, so little time……. Okay. So, I am going to once again call upon the writing stylings of one miss Jennifer to inform us as to the nature of this item. “Western Shelter Systems Portable Relief Field Station, WS-BRRF, Freestanding aluminum frame with vinyl cover set, one piece collapsible floor and toilet cabinet, collection poly-box and containment bags, field caddy dispenser system, relief station maintenance kits all contained in an 86" x 30" x 15" storage case. 235# UNUSED.” So, they are portable bathroom facilities. Instead of dragging around the little porta-potty on the little trailer, you can just open one of these suitcases and voila! you’re good to “go”. I thought it was strange that there wasn’t any TP included with these…..it must be what they mean when they say they’re “going paperless”, but I’ll leave that up to you to figure out. This kit comes with everything you need to set up a Portable Relief Field Station, including reading materials (a user manual….you know, for the field station).

The Oregon Number on these is 22-008-01, and the Service Charge is $350.00 each, and we only have 53 of these left!

These items and much more are available through the StateofOregonDepartmentofAdministrativeServicesEnterpriseAssetManagementStateandFederalSurplusPropertyProgram. All Federal Donation property is available to eligible government agencies, nonprofit organizations and Veteran Owned Small Businesses (VOSB’s) through the federal Small Business Administration (SBA). If you have questions regarding the three-year eligibility status of your respective program, contact our eligibility specialist Carla Jeannette carla.jeannette@das.oregon.gov, or 503-378-2753. If you have any questions regarding these or any items at Surplus, please contact our agency salesperson Joe Mannion joe.mannion@das.oregon.gov, or 971-301-0193. If you have any general questions, or just feel the need to get something off your chest, please feel free to contact me darren.kennedy@das.oregon.gov or 503-378-6022; if you want to be taken off or added to this listserv, or you just want to know how all of this surplus stuff works, etc., just let me know!

Okay, okay, one potty joke, direct from my 11 y.o. grandson; Did you hear about the new film 'Constipated'? It hasn’t come out yet…….sorry. He thought it was funny. I don’t think he knows what it means, but he thought it was funny.

Have a great week everybody!

[orcpplink] UPS price agreement (DASPS-2692-16) must read 11/29/2021

Good morning,

We've been getting a lot of questions from agencies and OrCPP members about the status of the UPS price agreement, so I wanted to make sure you all had this information on your radar. In addition, please share this information with the appropriate staff in your agencies.

The NASPO ValuePoint Price Agreement with UPS was set to expire on November 27, 2021. No new agreement has been reached, and UPS has declined to extend its current master agreement. As a result, Oregon's agreement (DASPS-2692-16), is expired. Agencies should immediately stop using UPS accounts derived from DASPS-2692-16 and transition to using our new agreements with GLS and /or Fed Ex for continued services. The Buyers Guide for these agreements is attached.

The State of Utah and NASPO ValuePoint are in continued discussions with UPS and are uncertain when a resolution will be reached. If agreement is reached on a Master Agreement, Oregon still has to negotiate the Oregon specific terms and conditions. We will update you if, and when, a new UPS price agreement is available.

Please connect with Kaliska King if you have specific questions: Kaliska.king@das.oregon.gov

Thank You.

A message from DAS Procurement Services

Title: Small Package Delivery Contracts, expire of contracts, New Fed Ex and GLS and Update on UPS

Date: November 22, 2021

Category: PA's expiring and 2 new ones in place

11/22/2021 update: UPS is used by all Agencies, I wanted to send a second notice of it expiring. The State of Utah confirmed today, the current Agreements WILL EXPIRE 11/27/2021.

The current small package delivery contracts will expire on November 27, 2021, for UPS, Fed Ex and Global Logistical Solutions (GLS). The contract numbers are:

Fed Ex: DASPS-2691-16, UPS DASPS-2692-16 and 8315 for GLS

New Contracts with Fed Ex and GLS have been put in place and are in Oregon Buys. The contract numbers are:

Fed Ex: PO-10700-00004355

GLS: PO 10700-00004458

If you have a current account with them you don't need to do anything, your account will automatically reflect the new contract.

UPS EXPIRING:

The State of Oregon does a Participating Addendum (PA) off of the State of Oregon's NASPO agreement for these services. As of today, the state of Utah is still in negotiations for the Master Agreement for these services. Once this is completed, I will do a PA for Oregon to use the contract. Please be aware, this contract will likely expire on November 27, 2021 and the rates you have now will no longer be in effect.

Recommendation: If your agency doesn't have a Fed Ex or GLS account, I recommend you open an account. I have attached the Buyers Guide that gives you instructions on how to contact our representatives to set up an account.

I will give you more information on UPS as its available. If you have any questions please let me know.

[orcpplink]Cool stuff/this-n-that from surplus property 11/01/2021

Dear Procurementarians,

It’s that time once again, where I get to show you some items that have washed up on the shores of Surplus lately. These items are Federal Donation Property, and are only available to Donee’s that are currently eligible to purchase with our program. If you’re not sure if you are still eligible, or if you even qualify, just let us know and we can get you pointed in the right direction.

Speaking of eligibility, I wanted to make you all aware of an eligibility change that has recently occurred. So, it used to be that in order to become eligible to participate in our program, you had to be a government agency or qualified nonprofit organization; that actually hasn’t changed. What has changed is that now we can qualify Veteran Owned Small Businesses (or “VOSB’s”) to participate in the program. What a VOSB would need to do is to get set up through the federal Small Business Administration (SBA). Once they do this, SBA would let us know, and then they would have to complete our eligibility process. If they survive all this red tape and jumping through hoops, they can be made eligible to purchase through the Surplus Property program (honestly, it’s not that bad. It’s actually pretty easy). So if you know of somebody that might be interested, have them contact our eligibility expert Carla Jeannette at carla.jeannette@das.oregon.gov, or 503-378-2753, and she can tell them where to go. I mean, she can tell them what they need to do. Remember, this is for any qualified Veteran Owned Small Business located within Oregon!

While I have you, there’s another thing I would like to make you aware of. This comes up every so often, so it’s something I’d like to remind everybody about. Every now and then, we have an donee customer show up, and the exchange is something like this:

Agency: Hi! We’ve been shopping, see our gigantic shopping cart full of stuff?

Surplus: Impressive! I didn’t know you could get that much stuff in one cart.

Agency: It’s a survival skill. So I’m ready to check out now.

Surplus: Perfect. What agency are you with?

Agency: We’re with the Department of X.

Surplus: *clickclickclick* Hmmm, I’m sorry. I don’t see the Department of X in our system.

Agency: That’s weird, we signed up like 3 weeks ago.

Surplus: Could it be under a different name? Perhaps the Department of Y?

Agency: Nope. Definitely Department of X. We paid our dues and everything.

Surplus: Dues….what dues?

Agency: You know, we pay dues, and then we’re able to purchase off of state price agreements.

Surplus: Oh. Yeah……..

That’s right. The agency has signed up for the ORCPP (ORegon Cooperative Procurement Program). It happens all of the time. We are like twins; we look a lot alike, and we even have the same mother (state of Oregon), but we are two distinct and separate programs. We love them (and I think they love us – YES Darren DAS ORCPP loves DAS Surplus!) but we are our own individual entities. That said, we have a lot of donee’s coming in, thinking that participation in one program gains entry into the other, and this unfortunately isn’t the case. We both like our autonomy, and cherish our sense of individualism, and while we brag about the virtues of belonging to one or the other (or both), we are like twins, just not Siamese twins. Got it? Awesome! Let me know if you have any questions!

Thank you Darren (brother) for explaining that each of our programs (OrCPP and Surplus Property) are independent of one another, but as close as peas & carrots!

And now, let’s get down to business…..

Whisk Brooms

I always wondered about that….baby witches! Who knew? That’s probably why we ordered a cojillion of these. They are brand new/unused, they’re made of straw with metal reinforcement, ergonomically and ambidextrously designed, and that’s about it. They’re whisk brooms, not rockets, so they’re pretty plain. I mean WE love them, but we’ve lived with them for some time now. The Oregon Number on these is 21-507-01, we have 1,831 in stock (Okay, so not a cojillion, but a lot), and the Service Charge is just $2.00 apiece.

Balaclava’s

Here we have some XGO Tactical baclava barracuda balaclava’s. These are flame retardant (that’s good. I personally hate when my head catches on fire), Phase 1, acclimate, lightweight, high performance base layer, protected by Ag47 Silver Microbial Protection, coyote brown, and made in the USA. I understand about 10% of what I just typed, but I know what they are, so hopefully you do too. The Oregon Number is 19-554-05, we have 33 in stock, and the Service Charge is just $10 apiece.

Map Cabinet

The next item is a three drawer map cabinet. These always seem to be a popular item, even as demand for regular file cabinets seems to be waning. The Oregon Number is 21-464-01, has three drawers, is grey, is metal, is sitting on a wood pallet, in a pallet rack….sorry, just not much to say about this. We have just the one left, and the Service Charge is $100.00. Cat not included.

Waterloo Tool Chests

We have a few Waterloo tool chests in stock. This brand isn’t Snap-On, but it isn’t Harbor Freight either…..I’d say they are quite a ways north of average…..very good quality, and definitely a well-known brand of tool chest. These are brand new in the box, 10-drawer with open lid top storage. A quality item at a great price! The Oregon Number is 21-529-01, the Service Charge is $150.00, and we have 38 left in stock.

So how could I ever refuse? I feel like I win when I lose………

Anti-Fatigue Mats

Next we have these anti-fatigue mats (they are not now, nor will they ever be door mats!). Nobody has ever taken advantage of their generosity, their money or their affections. They are happy in the knowledge that they will provide relief from standing on hard surfaces all day. Do you work at a sit/stand desk? Do you find yourself standing in one place on a concrete floor? They are always there for you, to provide relief to those aching bones. And what do they ask in return? I’m sure a simple “thank you” would suffice. These are brand new in the box, 3/8" thick, 24” wide x 36” long. The Oregon Number is 21-503-01, we currently have 48 in stock, and the Service Charge is $15.00 apiece. We also have “Switchboard Mats” which are 36” wide x 75’ long (Oregon Number 21-503-02), and we have 3 of those in stock. The Service Charge on those is $250 each. Why do they call them “Switchboard Mats”? Because back in the day, switchboard operators had to be on their feet all day, so they rolled these out on the floor (switchboards were really long back then). I just totally pulled that out of my hat. I don’t really know why they call them that.

PS- The one I pulled out of the box has those triangular holes cut into them. Maybe they’re to be used in one direction only? I don’t really know.

Deluxe Drain Pans

We have these lovely drain pans, new in box, and you can have them in any color you like, as long as it’s black. These have handles on opposite sides at no extra charge, and if you buy today, I’ll even throw in the cardboard box! The Oregon Number on these is 21-428-01, and we only have 248 of them in stock, with a Service Charge of just $5.00 each!

Floor Lamps

The next item is these beautiful floor lamps. The technical nomenclature is “Medical/Surgical Light”. I think they can get more $$ if they call it that and chrome plate everything. But hey, they are nice, and brand new in the box, and you KNOW you’re not going to pay inflated prices at Surplus Property! The Oregon Number is 21-352-01, we only have 81 of these in stock, and the Service Charge………just $15.00 apiece! WHAT?!?????!!! You read that right, just $15.00! At that price you can get a bunch of these!

Replacement Vehicle Seats

The next item are these vehicular seats. Yes, I know these are not bucket seats in the truest sense, but they are really nice. They’re covered in a durable cloth material, have 5 point safety harnesses, and I think they were a direct replacement for specialized military vehicles. Anyway, the color (Tan) isn’t ugly, and I’m sure they’d work great to replace the milk crates they put in some equipment. They are manufactured by Amsafe Inc, and are brand new in the box. The Oregon Number is 21-412-01, the Service Charge is $250.00, and we have just 10 of these in stock.

Various Light Towers

This next item is not a lighthouse (although that would be AWESOME), but this is the next best thing to it. These light towers illuminate large areas with 10 billion lumens of light, so think construction sites, accident scenes, or if you want to attract tons of moths……this is for you! We have a couple different flavors of these, and the configuration is basically the same; a little trailer that has a generator inside, and a boom on top with BIG lights mounted to it. The Oregon Number(s) on these are 21-204-03A, 03B, and 03D, or 21-265-01, and the Service Charge on these range from $750.00 to $1500.00 each! Please Note: not for use on the coast. Godzilla seems to be a little touchy about them.

John Deere Road Grader

Here we have a piece of road construction equipment in the form of a John Deere road grader. Instead of me typing all the information out, I will copy/paste from the notes in Reuse:

“Road grader, Mdl: 130G, Ser: 74V01084, RAT-02. All fluids appear full, batteries may be drained or completely dead, and 3 out of 6 tires low and/or flat/off the rim or bead broke.

Key is missing for battery switch, you'll have to get your own but we have one that works that can be used. Started with a jump, hydraulics appear to be functional”.

Whew, that was tough. Couldn’t have said it better myself. So all in all, this starts and appears to function fine, it just has a lot of broken-bead tires. So, if you purchase it, you can re-seat the tire beads in our lot, or we can load onto your conveyance the way that it is. Either way, this appears to be a good machine, it’s just been sitting in the desert of Northern California for some time. The Oregon Number on this is 21-438-02, and the Service Charge is just $7,000.00. We don’t get them in very often, so now’s the time to move on it!

All these items and more are currently available at the StateofOregonDepartmentofAdministrativeServicesEnterpriseAssetManagementStateandFederalSurplusPropertyProgram. We are open to donee’s 8:00-5:00 Monday-Friday for your shopping convenience. These items (and all Federal Donation Property items) are available to qualified and currently eligible donee’s. If you need any additional information on these or any Surplus Property items, please contact out agency salesperson Joe Mannion joe.mannion@das.oregon.gov or 971-301-0193. If you’re wondering what the status of your eligibility is, or if you qualify to receive Donation Property, please contact our eligibility genius Carla Jeannette carla.jeannette@das.oregon.gov, or 503-378-2753 and she can get you fixed up.

As always, if you need any information, moral support, positive affirmations or reality checks, you are always free to contact me at darren.kennedy@das.oregon.gov or 503-378-6022, and I’ll do what I can. I’ll be out of the office from 10/27-11/4, so if you’re not able to reach me, just repeat this mantra by Stuart Smalley: “I'm Good Enough, I'm Smart Enough, and Doggone It, People Like Me!”. That ought to hold you over until I get back.

Thanks everybody, and have a great week!

[orcpplink] Update on: bridge beams looking for a good home 11/01/2021

Dear Procurementarians,

A while back I sent out an email regarding bridge beams that ODOT has in Eugene. They have had several interested parties, but since then they have found other (good) information regarding a timeframe for removal, availability, etc. That, and they are saying it’ll take more than a pick-up to haul these away…..

Attached are a ton of pictures, as well as the specifications and locations of the beams. The drop dead date for removal is now January. If you have any interest in these FREE beams, please contact Mr. Eck (contact info below) and he get you fixed up!

 88 beams left and they are Free!

 We have listened and are allowing more time to arrange for the transportation of the beams

 New photo inventory

 Send all inquiries to Steve Eck and specify which lots you are interested in and approximate date of pick up (a range of time is fine) – I will reserve those specific lots

 Please remove by January 31, 2022

 After January 31st, 2022, a nationwide auction for any remaining beams will take place

________________________________________

Original Message

Our cousins over at Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT to you and me) have an amazing opportunity for you to take advantage of, should you choose to accept. Way back when, you probably remember new bridges were built across the Willamette river in Eugene (maybe you don’t….take my word for it). Anyhow, remnants in the form of bridge beams have been stacked up on ODOT property, and now they need to go away. ODOT asked if we could send a message out to agencies….I said I might know some people. So, check out all the information below, as well as the VERY informative PDF (attached). Mr. Eck was good enough to send links to show where they’re located, detailed spec sheets, etc. Best of all, these are FREE. I mean, you have to arrange the big crane(s) to pick these up and load on a flatbed trailer, but they would like to see them gone just as soon as possible.

If you think your State/City/County/Special Road District could use these, please give Mr. Eck a call or email (contact information below) and I’m sure he’d be glad to help you out. I’m thinking these would go a long way to supporting your infrastructure/bridge replacement/bridge building plans. Think of the hundreds of thousands of dollars you could save (insert your agency name here)! It’s a great opportunity, I’m just sayin.

Have a great day, and contact Mr. Eck asap if interested!

[orcpplink]Covid 19 vaccination mandate effects on Oregon Forward 10/12/2021

Good Morning ORCPP Members,

As you may know, the State of Oregon will be implementing vaccine mandates for State Agency contractors effective October 18^th. Like all employers, Oregon Forward Contractors (OFCs) are being impacted by vaccine choices. OFCs are working hard to provide contracted services despite vaccine-related staffing shortages.

Occasionally, despite everyone's best efforts, staffing issues may impact contracted services with Local Government Agencies. OFCs will attempt to minimize the impact to all public agency customers. If contract performance may be impacted, they will inform their customers of any changes that might have an effect on the quality of the service provided.

Should you receive reports of service quality deficits or notice contract performance issues, please reach out to your OFC contact to discuss the situation. You can expect a cooperative, timely response. The OFC will attempt to remedy the problems experienced and will always endeavor to meet the requirements of the contract. They may need flexibility from your agency but should provide solutions to bring their performance into compliance with the contract.

Thank you! Local Government Agencies have been great partners with Oregon Forward Contractors. Literally thousands of individuals with disabilities have benefitted from the good paying jobs created by Oregon Forward contracts developed by Local Government agencies. Your efforts to support the success of OFCs and their employees are greatly appreciated.

Please let me know of any concerns or questions.

Thank you!

[orcpplink]Did you know your organization has access to some state of WA contracts? 09/14/2021

The State of Oregon and the State of Washington have an interstate compact in place that permits each State’s local governments the opportunity to leverage the other State’s contracts? NOTE: These do not include NASPO ValuePoint Master contracts of the other State’s portfolio. https://apps.des.wa.gov/DESContracts/

Background: Many years ago the State of Oregon and the State of Washington got together to share portfolios of contracts to promote efficiencies for each of our State’s local government entities and our respective procurement shops. This Interstate Compact makes available some contracts (not all), those with “cooperative use” language for ORCPP members (Oregon local governments) on Washington contracts, and vice versa for MCUA (Washington local governments) on Oregon contracts.

So what's this all about?

I have been introduced to an Oregon WBE/DBE COBID certified business, Mel Tar Supply that holds a cooperative use contract awarded by the State of Washington with ORCPP named as an authorized purchaser under the contract. I have personally visited Mel Tar Supply and want to share their Meet & Greet event coming up on September 30th that will feature their product of the versatile Fiber-reinforced Polymer Pre-Fabricated Bridges and Modular Bridges.

Are you expanding or upgrading access areas with safe and easy accessibility for all? Are you using Federal Funds? If you are, then you may have “terms & conditions” attached to those funds that may require you to seek a woman, veteran, or disadvantaged business owned firm.

If you are interested but unable to attend, please reach out to Mel Tar Supply. I’ll be there too!
