Notice of Special Procurement Approval - Teller Point of Sale System

Marion County, Oregon is conducting a special procurement under ORS 279B.085 and Marion County Procurement Code for ongoing maintenance and support of the Teller Enterprise Point-of-Sale Software System. The procurement seeks to extend the current contract with Can/Am Technologies through November 2026, bridging a software integration gap during the County's Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) project transition. The special procurement was released on November 12, 2025, with comments, questions, and protests due by November 19, 2025, at 4:00 PM PST. The anticipated contract duration is one year or until a sufficient replacement system can be established. Key objectives include maintaining continuous teller point-of-sale system operations, supporting the ongoing ERP project, and ensuring efficient public fund management. Submission and additional details are available through the Marion County Procurement Collaboration Portal at https://contracts-marioncountygcc.msappproxy.net/gateway/.

The special procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The incumbent vendor is Can/Am Technologies, which originally established the Enterprise Point-of-Sale System through a Request for Proposals in 2016, with a prior contract extension in 2021. The current contract was set to expire on December 31, 2025, and this special procurement aims to extend services through November 2026. The extension is projected to generate cost savings of approximately 20 percent compared to implementing a new system, as maintaining the current system is less expensive than first-year implementation costs. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement is designed to provide continuity of services during the County's technology transition period while minimizing financial impact.
