Dataworks plus sole source

The City of Salem, Oregon is procuring DataWorks Plus software and hardware support services on a sole source basis under the City's adopted Public Contracting Rules. The procurement covers support services for fiscal years 2025/26 and 2026/27, with an anticipated award date of May 19, 2026. The City has determined that the goods and services are available from only one source, DataWorks Plus, making this a non-competitive procurement. The contract deliverables include software and hardware support necessary to maintain the DataWorks Plus system currently in use by the City. No specific bidder meetings or site visits have been scheduled as part of this procurement process. The public notice was published on May 12, 2026, with a due date of May 18, 2026. Affected persons may submit written protests to the City Manager's office at 555 Liberty St SE, Room 220, Salem, OR 97301, within seven calendar days of the first date of public notice.

This sole source procurement is restricted to DataWorks Plus as the sole approved vendor, precluding responses from other organizations or firms. The contract amount is $14,460.50, to be awarded to DataWorks Plus on a non-competitive basis. Protests of the sole source determination must be accompanied by a certified or cashier's check in the amount of $500 to cover processing costs and must include detailed legal and factual grounds, supporting evidence, a description of resulting harm, and the relief requested. Any protest submitted after the seven-calendar-day timeline will not be considered. The existing infrastructure requires integration with the current DataWorks Plus system already deployed by the City of Salem.
