About this file
This is a Sole Source Determination Memo issued by the Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) Office of Contracts & Procurement on behalf of the Oregon Health Authority for the Oregon State Hospital Laboratory. The document authorizes a sole source procurement for a Performance Plus Plan warranty extension on an existing Siemens EXL analyzer. The service agreement will extend for three months or until a new chemistry analyzer is brought online, whichever occurs first. The justification for sole sourcing is based on the efficient utilization of existing goods, as Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics is the only vendor capable of providing the Performance Plus Plan warranty for the current analyzer. The current analyzer is nearing end of life and requires continued warranty coverage to protect against unexpected repairs while the new analyzer's go-live date has been delayed due to informatics connection problems. Protests to this sole source determination must be submitted within seven calendar days after the first posting date on OregonBuys.
The estimated total contract value is $8,000.00 for the three-month period, or approximately $2,667.00 per month. The prospective contractor is Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics, located at 511 Benedict Ave, Tarrytown, NY 10591, with contact person Nicole Golladay. The agency has reserved the right to purchase additional goods and services, including assay support, quality control material, linearity material, and training for up to five years from the date of the notice. Protests should be directed to Andria Otjen, Contract Specialist, at the ODHS Office of Contracts and Procurement, with submission options via mail, fax, email, or hand delivery; telephone protests will not be accepted.
