ADS software sole source posting

The City of Salem, Oregon is proceeding with a sole-source procurement for ADS software, equipment, and services from ADS Software (Tukwila, Washington), with a public comment period open through June 14, 2026 and an anticipated award date of June 15, 2026. The sole-source determination is the controlling constraint: the City has found that the requested goods and services are available from only one source.

The contract value is $510,000 per year for an initial term with a five-year renewal option. Place of performance and specific scope details (software modules, equipment specifications, service-level commitments) are not detailed in the public notice.

Interested parties may file a written protest of the sole-source determination within seven days of the June 8, 2026 first public notice date, addressed to the City Manager's office at 555 Liberty St SE, Room 220, Salem, OR 97301. Protests must be accompanied by a certified or cashier's check for $500 (processing cost), include detailed legal and factual grounds with supporting evidence, describe resulting harm to the protesting party, and state the relief requested. Protests submitted after the seven-day deadline are untimely and will not be considered.
