Summary of Contract Files
This package contains a Sole Source Justification Form from Parkrose School District for a procurement from Oregon Ballet Theatre, along with an unrelated Oregon Child Nutrition Cooperative Supplemental RFP. The Parkrose School District sole source justification addresses a $11,500 contract with Oregon Ballet Theatre to provide an arts enrichment program for grades 2-6 students during physical education classes. The program includes 10 in-class dance residency sessions per classroom with live music accompaniment for six sessions, school site planning meetings, teaching artist preparation, two student matinee performances at local theaters, a field trip to OBT Studios, complimentary tickets for teachers and administrators to public performances, and instructional supplies. The program was developed in partnership with the district based on 2021-22 community feedback prioritizing well-rounded educational opportunities. No federal funds will be used for this purchase, and public notice is required as the contract exceeds $10,000. The form was submitted on November 29, 2022.
The justification for sole source procurement centers on Oregon Ballet Theatre's unique offering of live music instruction during ballet classes and access to student-curated performances, which district officials determined are unavailable from other local dance academies. The Director of Business Services and Operations certified no conflict of interest in the recommendation and verified through research that no other local providers offer comparable multi-art-form enrichment services. The program aligns with district policy DJC, DIC-48, and DOJ Model Rule 137-047-0275 requirements for written findings on sole source purchases exceeding $10,000.

Other findings. Describe other factors that support the conclusion that the goods or services are available from only one source:
What unique features/functionality is required that only this source can provide?
This is the only source that offers live music during ballet instruction, therefore introducing Parkrose students to more than one art form. This is also the only source that allows students to visit performances specifically curated for their attendance.
What steps were taken to verifu that goods or services with similar features and functionality are not available from other sources?
ln research, there is no other local dance academy that offers a service unique to that of OBT, enriching students in multiple modes.
