Notice of Intent to Purchase

Clackamas County has issued a Notice of Intent to Direct Contract with Axon Enterprise, Inc. for a comprehensive law enforcement technology procurement spanning body cameras, vehicle cameras, interview room cameras, Tasers, accessories, and associated cloud and software services. The county intends to execute a sole-source contract with Axon Enterprise, justified by the vendor's unique technological capabilities and the county's substantial existing infrastructure investment. The procurement is structured as a direct contract with an anticipated annual value of $2,438,716.40, with a contract term extending through October 2034. Interested parties have until September 24, 2025, at 5:00 PM Pacific Time to submit any protests or challenges to the procurement approach. The county's procurement team can be contacted at 503-742-5444 for additional information, and protests may be submitted by hand delivery or email to the contract Analyst, Thomas Candelario. The procurement appears to prioritize continuity of existing technological systems and maintaining compatibility with current law enforcement equipment infrastructure.

The procurement does not explicitly mention specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Axon Enterprise appears to be the incumbent and sole-source vendor, with the county seeking to maintain its current technological ecosystem. The existing infrastructure includes camera hardware, Taser energy weapons, and software service licenses, which will be continued and potentially expanded under this contract. The total anticipated contract value suggests a significant technology investment for Clackamas County's law enforcement operations. While no specific competitive bidding process is outlined, the county has provided a transparent notice of intent and established a protest period for potential vendors or interested parties to raise concerns about the sole-source procurement method. The contract's substantial annual value of $2,438,716.40 indicates a comprehensive technology solution that encompasses hardware, software, and ongoing service support for the county's law enforcement technology needs.
