Buying or Selling Products or Services


What BPA Buys

Potential suppliers may contact BPA purchasing personnel at any time regarding the general categories of goods and services listed in the Directory of Contacts of this guide. Below is the process for suppliers to follow who want to contract with BPA for products or services they provide:

Present your qualifications and company information. The best method is to submit your information on-line via e-mail to ProcurementOpps@bpa.gov. Doing this will ensure that your company information is received by the purchasing staff, and is recorded/retained as appropriate. In addition to a list of goods and/or services that your firm offers, include information such as management and technical capabilities, past performance record, customer service policies, and quality improvement programs.

After your information has been received by a reviewing official, we may request you to provide additional written materials or schedule a time for you to conduct an oral presentation to our purchasing and program personnel. The location for oral presentations will be determined at the time of scheduling a presentation.

Your information will be kept on file for future needs. A Contracting Officer will contact you when a need arises that you help fill.


BPA Surplus Sales

BPA sells surplus equipment to the public when it has been determined sales will result in the best value for the Region. BPA works in partnership with the State of Oregon Surplus Property Center to sell surplus equipment on the internet. Property available for sale can be found by going to www.oregonsurplus.com. BPA may also chose to hold on site auctions or use other sales channels as warranted by circumstances. Auctions will be publicly advertised prior to their conduct. For further information or contact the Investment Recovery Center at 360-418-2430.
