Sole Source Determination signed - PANG SFXi.pdf

This is a Sole Source Determination document for the State of Oregon's Department of Administrative Services (DAS) Enterprise Asset Management, Fleet and Parking Services, authorizing a direct award contract for Multiforce Systems Corporation's FuelForce Automated Fuel Management System. The procurement covers hardware, software, maintenance, and support services for the FuelForce system managing fueling operations across 53 state fueling sites that serve over 4,100 state vehicles and provide oversight for an additional 3,000 vehicles owned by other agencies in Marion County and the City of Salem. The public notice was posted on September 21, 2023, with a seven-calendar-day protest period. The contract is structured for an initial two-year term with potential renewals extending to a maximum ten-year period. Hardware components include card readers, backplates, motherboards, processors, printers, pedestals, and cabinets, with spare parts pricing ranging from $80 to $3,730.

Multiforce Systems Corporation has been determined as the sole manufacturer, installer, and authorized support provider with exclusive rights to sell, support, upgrade, enhance, modify, or provide interfaces for FuelForce products. The estimated contract value is $721,892, with a full system replacement cost estimated at $1.1 million, which was deemed not financially feasible. DAS determined that maintaining the existing FuelForce system represents the most efficient solution for preserving the state's current technological investment and operational continuity. The procurement does not include explicit set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Nancy A. Doll, State Procurement Analyst, serves as the single point of contact for inquiries regarding this sole source procurement.
