Notice of Sole-Source - Astanza Holdings LLC

The Oregon Youth Authority (OYA) is conducting a sole-source procurement for additional Astanza Duality Laser Systems and related services from Astanza Holdings LLC. This procurement is specifically for laser systems to be used for tattoo removal at youth correctional facilities. The agency currently owns one Astanza Duality Laser System and plans to purchase additional units to maintain system compatibility and enable volunteer doctors trained on the existing equipment to provide services across multiple locations. The sole-source determination is based on Astanza Holdings LLC being the exclusive retailer of the Duality Laser in the United States, with no comparable substitutes or alternative resellers available. The procurement notice was published on April 14, 2023, with a response deadline of April 21, 2023, under notice number S-41500-00006527. Potential vendors or interested parties who wish to protest the sole-source determination must submit written objections electronically to OYA's Procurement Unit by the specified due date.

There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational responses mentioned in the procurement documents. The contract is limited to a term not exceeding three months, with no plans for extension or amendment. The total estimated contract value is $150,000, which covers the purchase of multiple Duality Laser Systems and associated services. Astanza Holdings LLC is identified as the sole vendor, providing not only the laser systems but also all related services, warranty, and parts. The procurement is specifically focused on maintaining the existing technological infrastructure by purchasing identical systems to the one currently in use at OYA facilities. The agency's decision is predicated on ensuring continuity of service and leveraging the existing expertise of volunteer doctors already trained on the Duality Laser System.
