Hurley Sole Source

The City of Salem, Oregon is pursuing a sole source procurement for PACO Split Pump Impellers & Seal Kits through Hurley Engineering, the original equipment manufacturer located in Tacoma, Washington. This procurement is specifically for Marion County and involves specialized pump components critical to municipal infrastructure maintenance. The total contract value is $25,557, with an anticipated award date of May 6, 2024. The procurement follows the city's public contracting rules, which permit sole source acquisitions when a vendor is the exclusive provider of required specialized equipment. Potential vendors or interested parties have a 7-day protest window following the initial public notice date of April 29, 2024, with a mandatory $500 certified/cashier's check required to process any protest submission.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types are identified in the documentation. The sole source nature of the procurement effectively limits potential vendors to Hurley Engineering, as they are deemed the only source capable of providing the required PACO split pump impellers and seal kits. While the document does not elaborate on existing infrastructure or technology integration requirements, the procurement suggests these components are essential replacements or maintenance items for existing municipal pump systems. The contract's relatively modest value of $25,557 indicates this is likely a targeted, specific procurement focused on replacement parts rather than a comprehensive system overhaul. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or alternative sourcing strategies beyond the current sole source approach.
