Notice of Special Procurement

The Oregon Department of Transportation (ODOT), Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is pursuing a Special Procurement to extend an existing contract with Solution Thru Software, Inc. (now Intellectual Technology Inc.) for their Automated Testing Devices (ATD) Solution. The procurement involves amending the current contract to extend its term by 19 months through July 31, 2024, and increase the maximum compensation by $223,800. The primary objective is to maintain the current ATD Solution, which has been in place since 2011 and is used to administer driver's license knowledge tests statewide, until a new ATD Replacement Solution can be fully implemented in Q3 2024. Previous procurement attempts in 2020 to replace the system were unsuccessful, necessitating this contract extension. The contract extension includes $86,400 for software support and maintenance, $18,300 for exam console and administrator software support and maintenance, and $100,800 for exam unit hardware support and maintenance. The due date for potential protests is November 22, 2022, with a seven-calendar-day window for affected parties to submit written objections detailing legal and factual grounds, potential harm, and requested relief.

This special procurement is limited to the current contract holder and does not appear to have specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational types. The contract is specifically for maintaining the existing ATD Solution, which involves software and hardware support for driver's license knowledge testing infrastructure. The total contract value will increase to $3,342,797.39 after the proposed amendment. The procurement is being conducted through the Department of Administrative Services, with ODOT DMV as the primary stakeholder. No additional vendors or competitive bidding process is indicated for this specific procurement, as it represents an extension of an existing contract to prevent service interruption. The justification for the special procurement centers on maintaining uninterrupted access to driver's license testing services, which could not be practicably achieved through standard procurement methods due to previous unsuccessful replacement attempts.
