Notice of Sole Source Procurement to Program and Manage WebCTRL Software in Support of HVAC System

The Oregon Employment Department (OED) is issuing a Notice of Sole Source Procurement to program and manage the WebCTRL software in support of the HVAC system at the Salem WorkSource Office. The procurement is for computer programming and HVAC controls management services, not typical HVAC maintenance. The HVAC controls system is proprietary and has been in place for many years, with Clima-Tech Corporation as the sole authorized dealer for Automated Logic Corporation (ALC) products and services in Oregon. This sole source contract would allow OED to work directly with Clima-Tech to ensure regular maintenance and software updates are performed without going through the regular HVAC contractor. The estimated value of the contract is $50,000 for one year, with options to renew annually for up to five years. The justification for sole source procurement cites compatibility, exclusive authorized representation, and the need for continued support, seasonal testing, and upgrades, for which Clima-Tech is the only source in Oregon.

This is a sole source procurement, with no set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. The incumbent vendor is Clima-Tech Corporation, the sole authorized dealer for ALC products and services in Oregon. Any affected person may protest the approval of the sole source procurement within seven calendar days of the public notice.
