Phil: The State of Oregon has established an IT Managed Service Provider statewide price agreement with Covendis. This agreement is available to state agencies and ORCPP Members. I checked the Oregon Cooperative Purchasing Program (ORCPP) website (membership list) and it appears that Linn County is able to access this price agreement. (ORCPP Member list - http://www.oregon.gov/DAS/SSD/SPO/docs/orcpp/orcpp-member-list.pdf) State Price Agreement website: http://www.oregon.gov/DAS/SSD/SPO/IT-Procurement.shtml IT Managed Service Provider Managed Service Provider for Information Technology Professional Services (IT MSP) The IT MSP is a statewide agreement (#0483) that State Agencies and Oregon Cooperative Purchasing Program (ORCPP) participants can use to obtain Hourly or Project based IT Professional Services (ITPS). The MSP (Covendis Technologies) provides managed services that include, but are not limited to, recruitment, screening and management of experienced IT Subcontractors that will provide ITPS as needed by State Agencies and ORCPP members in two key categories. 1. Hourly Based ITPS: For temporary services for a fixed amount of time at a predefined hourly rate. 2. Project Based ITPS: Performance based with specific statements of work calling for completion of defined tasks and deliverables with a fixed price per deliverable and delivery schedule. ITPS Opportunities: The MSP has established a method for Subcontractor notification and competition for Hourly Based and Project Based opportunities using its online Vendor Management System (VMS) used for this statewide Agreement to Agree (ATA #0483).
