Investigator Services

The Deschutes County District Attorney's Office in Bend, Oregon, is seeking investigator services to address organized retail crime and related fencing activity.

Eligibility is strictly limited to onshore providers located within the United States. Bidders must submit their proposals digitally via email or through the online portal.
