About this opportunity
Water Environment Services, a division of Clackamas County in Oregon, has issued a Notice of Brand Standardization effective immediately for Human-Machine Interfaces at sanitary sewer pump stations throughout its collection system, with an expiration date of December 31, 2030. This is a class-of-solicitations exemption from competitive bidding requirements, not a single procurement action. The standardized brand is Easy Touch.
WES determined that standardization on Easy Touch HMIs will streamline operations and reduce complexity across its pump station network. The current environment involves HMIs from multiple manufacturers that create variability in screen layouts, programming environments, communication configurations, and operator interfaces, thereby increasing training requirements and operational complexity for WES staff. WES's justification rests on three findings: the specification is unlikely to encourage favoritism or substantially diminish competition; it will result in substantial cost savings; and it ensures efficient utilization of existing compatible equipment throughout the system.
Vendors wishing to protest this brand standardization notice may submit written comments to Procurement Director Ryan Rice at rrice@clackamas.us within fourteen calendar days from the issuance date (deadline October 8, 2026 at 5:00 PM) under Local Contract Review Board Rules C-047-0700.
