Notice of Sole Source for Bit.ly Subscription

The Oregon Health Authority, procuring through the ODHS Office of Contracts & Procurement, is issuing a sole-source notice for a five-year Bit.ly Enterprise subscription, with the sole source named as Bitly, Inc. This is a notice only and not an opportunity to bid. The bid opening under Bid S-44300-00018214 was moved from October 23 to October 26, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. PST, and the seven-calendar-day protest window ran from the October 19, 2026 posting, closing October 26, 2026. The sole-source basis is ORS 279B.075(2)(a), which permits direct award when efficient use of existing goods requires compatible goods from one source.

The agency states that no alternative product is compatible with its current configuration or offers equivalent functionality without significant operational disruption or redevelopment of existing systems. The subscription supports the agency's Patient Facing Survey Tool and compliance with Oregon House Bill 3159, the Data Justice Act. It provides link shortening, QR code generation, survey referral management, security response capabilities, and dashboard metric oversight. The agency reserves the right to purchase additional goods and services, including on-call maintenance, preventative maintenance, repair, or training.

The estimated total value is $93,204.92 over five years. The agency reserves the right to continue the subscription for additional compensation and time up to $200,000 or ten years total, whichever comes first. Questions and protests go to Katrina Augustus at 500 Summer Street NE, E-03, Salem, OR 97301, katrina.f.augustus@odhsoha.oregon.gov.
