Approval of Contract-Specific Special Procurement for ICSolutions Advanced Technologies

Marion County, Oregon is issuing a special procurement approval notice for a contract-specific short-term engagement with ICSolutions Advanced Technologies for communication services and equipment at the Marion County Jail for Adults in Custody, with comments and protests due August 10, 2026 at 2:00 PDT.

This is a non-competitive procurement under ORS 279B.085 and Marion County Procurement Code Rule 20-0285. The current ICSolutions contract expires September 30, 2026, and the county has determined insufficient time exists to conduct a full solicitation, award a new contract, and complete vendor onboarding within that window. The short-term engagement bridges the gap between contract expiration and the completion of a new competitive procurement and transition.

The Marion County Sheriff's Office is the using agency. This announcement is not a solicitation and does not invite binding offers or competitive responses; it is a notice of intent to award a sole-source contract, published to provide the public opportunity to lodge protests or comments prior to presentation to the Chief Administrative Officer. Responses submitted will not be evaluated, scored, returned, or accepted as offers.

Interested parties may submit comments, questions, or formal protests through the Marion County Procurement Collaboration Portal by the August 10 deadline.
