Bid Tab - ITB 23-129-PW.pdf

This is a Bid Tab document for ITB 23-129-PW related to the Oregon Department of Forestry's sole source procurement for internet connectivity services for their Multi-Mission Aircraft through Baxter Aerospace. The procurement encompasses Starlink internet downlink services, including equipment lease, installation, service, maintenance, and troubleshooting capabilities, with a custom-built antenna mount to be installed in the Agency's aircraft. The sole source determination was made under ORS 279B.075 (2)(a) and OAR 125-247-0275(2)(c), which permits procurement from a single vendor when goods or services are uniquely available. The Agency accepted protests against this sole source determination until June 15, 2023, at 12:00 PM, requiring protesters to demonstrate that their equipment and services could meet or exceed Starlink equipment specifications and provide a consistently stable internet connection for first responder aviation operations.

The documentation does not disclose specific contract pricing, funding sources, contract duration, renewal options, or budget ranges. No set-aside designations, disadvantaged enterprise requirements, or incumbent vendor information are provided. The procurement is focused exclusively on obtaining Starlink internet services from Baxter Aerospace, with the primary qualification criterion being the technical capability to provide stable, consistent internet connectivity that meets the Agency's operational requirements for multi-mission aircraft operations supporting first responder services.
