Procurement Exemption for Yokogawa Field Instrument Products

Pierce County, Washington is seeking capability statements for a sole-source procurement exemption covering Yokogawa field instrument products, with statements due September 24, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. The County has determined that CB Pacific is the only entity capable of meeting its needs as the sole authorized distributor of Yokogawa field instruments in Washington State.

The scope covers flowmeters, pressure transmitters, controllers, analytical sensors, and related equipment for use at Pierce County Sewer Facilities. The minimum requirement is that the vendor must be authorized by the manufacturer to sell Yokogawa field equipment and components in Pierce County. The justification rests on the County's existing use of Yokogawa field instruments and a determination that only Yokogawa equipment possesses the specifications necessary for compatibility with existing Pierce County Sewer infrastructure.

The estimated cost is $15,000 over the 24-month exemption period. Interested entities must submit capability statements electronically through OpenGov, which will be evaluated by the Pierce County Purchasing Agent in consultation with subject matter experts. The exemption remains valid for 24 months from approval. Questions were due September 17, 2026; contact Andrew Robson at Pierce County Finance Department at (253) 798-7456 or Andrew.robson@piercecountywa.gov for additional information or submission via OpenGov.
