The Port in Oregon is seeking a qualified vendor to update its strategic business plan. The selected vendor will perform a comprehensive analysis of regional economic and employment trends to identify both current and emerging industry clusters relevant to the agency's mission. This includes a thorough evaluation of demographic and economic activity within the primary and secondary market areas, market capture rates, absorption forecasts, and identification of target markets.

The vendor will utilize data sourced from economic development organizations, workforce boards, and industry reports to assess the growth potential of major sectors and their alignment with the agency's infrastructure and real estate holdings. As part of this engagement, the contractor will prepare a 5-, 10-, and 20-year development program focused on market-supportable commercial, industrial, and recreational projects, including estimates for future development capture within existing agency-owned land and facilities.

Additionally, the project scope requires a review of current Port policies, procedures, and administrative documents to identify opportunities for enhancing governance, clarifying lines of authority, and improving administrative efficiency. This strategic update is vital to guiding the Port's long-term planning, resource allocation, and organizational effectiveness.
