About this file
This document is a Sole-Source Determination for Supplies and Services issued by the Oregon Youth Authority (OYA) to purchase fiber optic and telecommunications training materials from C-Tech Associates, Inc. OYA intends to purchase a variety of C-Tech training products and curriculum, including fiber optic systems trainers, instructor kits, student certification curriculum, and telecommunications training systems and supplies, to support an existing fiber optics training program at its Oak Creek Youth Correctional Facility. OYA has determined that C-Tech is the sole-source provider for these industry-certified communications networking job-training programs, which have been developed, manufactured, and are exclusively sold by C-Tech in Sparta, New Jersey.
The total estimated value of the sole-source contract is $22,000. OYA has previously implemented these C-Tech training materials and has skilled individuals available at the Oak Creek Facility to administer the curriculum. The OYA's market research indicates that no other substitute training curriculum or reseller exists, and C-Tech's sole-source status is accurate.
