About this opportunity
The state and local contract opportunity is a sole source procurement by the Oregon Department of Forestry for a Smith-Root LR-24 Lithium Electrofisher, specifically for the Corvallis Field Office located in Benton County. The procurement is being conducted under Oregon Revised Statutes ORS 279B.075 and Oregon Administrative Rules OAR 125-247-0275, which allow for sole source acquisitions when a unique product meets specific requirements. The primary deliverable is a specialized electrofisher with unique features including a built-in conductivity sensor, multiple safety sensors, and a streamlined design for use in brushy habitats. The procurement is specifically for end-of-fish determinations that will inform forest management and riparian buffer rules. The contract opportunity was posted on February 1, 2023, with a submission deadline of February 8, 2023. The specific objectives include obtaining an electrofisher with patented Programmable Output Waveform and comprehensive safety features that are not available from any other manufacturer in the United States.
This procurement appears to be a direct purchase without competitive bidding, and there are no explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor types mentioned in the documentation. The sole source letter from Smith-Root, Inc. emphasizes that their LR-24 Lithium Electrofisher Combo is the only product of its kind available, with a unique 3-year warranty and specific accessories designed exclusively for this system. The estimated cost of the procurement is $14,567, which covers the electrofisher and related equipment. The procurement is limited to the Corvallis Field Office in Benton County, Oregon, and is specifically for the Oregon Department of Forestry's Private Forest Accord biologist. No incumbent vendors are mentioned, and the procurement appears to be for a new, specialized piece of scientific equipment with no requirement for integration with existing infrastructure or technology.
