The Colorado State Patrol, acting through the Colorado Auto Theft Prevention Authority (CATPA), is issuing a sole-source procurement for marketing and sponsorship services from Larimer County Sports, operator of the Colorado Eagles professional hockey team, with proposal due August 11, 2026. This is a sole-source procurement with no competing bidders solicited.

The scope covers marketing and sponsorship services leveraging the Colorado Eagles' platform for auto theft prevention and Motorcycle Operator Safety Training education initiatives targeting the Northern Colorado community. The engagement is an ongoing sponsorship agreement, not a one-time purchase, running from August 15, 2026 through June 30, 2027.

The estimated contract value is $62,000, allocated entirely to services. CATPA has sponsored the Colorado Eagles since the 2022 season, establishing continuity. The vendor contact is Gavin Riches at (970) 686-9740 or griches@coloradoeagles.com.

The sole-source justification rests on the Colorado Eagles' exclusive ownership of their marketing rights and the absence of any competing AHL team in Colorado. No cost or price analysis was conducted. Sole-source approval was granted by Cale Gould, Outreach Coordinator, on July 28, 2026, with validity through June 30, 2027. The procurement reference is NPSS1 RBAA 2027-0025, and the assigned purchasing agent is Andrew Yancey.

Performance is centered in Northern Colorado with administrative oversight through CATPA and the Colorado State Patrol's RBAA office.
