Notice of Award~3.pdf

This is a Notice of Award issued by the Oregon Military Department (OMD) for a sole-source procurement of Remote Area Weather Stations (RAWS). The contract is awarded to FTS Forest Technology Systems LTD for $45,905.70, with a contract date of 5/23/2025. The procurement involves purchasing RAWS to be installed at Biak Training Center in Powell Butte and Boardman Training Site in Boardman, Oregon, expanding an existing weather data network that integrates with the Oregon Department of Forestry, Bureau of Land Management, and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

The sole-source contract is justified by the need to maintain system compatibility with previously purchased hardware from the same vendor in September 2024, ensuring seamless integration of software and data collection capabilities. Potential vendors could protest the sole-source determination by submitting written protests by 5:00 PM Pacific Time on May 16, 2025. The procurement does not appear to have specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises and focuses on leveraging existing technology infrastructure to support efficient fire danger analysis for OMD and other public and private entities.
