This is a Public Notice of Direct Appointment issued by Northern Wasco County People's Utility District to L3Harris for the procurement of Public Safety Communications Equipment through Statewide Price Agreement PO-10700-00005055. The direct appointment represents a special procurement method whereby the District has selected L3Harris as the contractor without competitive bidding. The notice was issued on March 5, 2026, and establishes a seven-calendar-day protest period during which the public may submit formal challenges to the direct appointment. Contract execution will not occur until the protest period has expired or any submitted protests have been resolved.

The contract value for this special procurement is $202,057.14. The Notice of Direct Appointment is contingent upon execution of a written contract with terms and conditions acceptable to the District and does not itself constitute a binding contract between the parties. The contractor will not acquire any legal or equitable rights to the contract services until a fully executed written agreement is in place. The District reserves the right to revoke the award or cancel the Notice of Direct Appointment at any time prior to written contract execution if the contractor fails to execute an acceptable agreement or for any other reason the District determines appropriate.
