This procurement is being conducted under the requirements of ORS 279B.055(4) and OAR 137-047-0300, which allow for a single-source procurement when goods or services are determined to be available from only one vendor.

Vendors who might be prospective bidders are invited to submit comments or objections via email to procurement@ltd.org by 5:00 PM (PT) on Wednesday, July 17, 2024. The notice provides a seven-day comment period for interested parties to review and potentially challenge the single-source determination before the contract is finalized.

The procurement appears to be open to all vendors, with no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types mentioned in the available documentation. The contract is focused on technology infrastructure for transit ticketing systems, specifically involving Flowbird America, Inc. as the proposed sole-source provider. The procurement is geographically situated in Lane County, Oregon, and involves specialized transit technology services. The total contract value of $186,135.00 represents the maximum budgeted amount for the ticket vending machine goods, warranty services, and software subscription. While no specific incumbent vendor information is provided beyond Flowbird America, Inc., the notice suggests this is a continuation or expansion of existing transit technology infrastructure for the Lane Transit District.
