Public Notice for Sole Source Determination

The Oregon Military Department (OMD) is pursuing a sole source procurement for parts and repair services from Delta Scientific Corporation to replace hydraulic fittings and hoses on two portable vehicle security barriers located at Camp Rilea Armed Forces Training Center in Clatsop County. The specific procurement involves replacing rusted fittings with stainless-steel upgrades, necessitated by the corrosive saltwater environment on the North Oregon Coast. The procurement is being conducted through a public notice process with a protest period open until 2:00 PM Pacific Time on March 4, 2024, during which affected parties may submit written protests detailing legal and factual grounds. Protests must include a description of potential harm and the specific relief requested. The procurement is justified by Delta Scientific Corporation's status as the original equipment manufacturer and sole source provider of these proprietary vehicle security barriers. The goods and services will directly support maintaining security infrastructure at the military training facility, with a focus on replacing and upgrading critical hydraulic components.

This procurement appears to be unrestricted in terms of set-aside designations, with Delta Scientific Corporation being the sole identified vendor due to the proprietary nature of their equipment. The total estimated contract value is $10,199.78, which represents a cost-effective solution compared to replacing the entire vehicle security control system, which would cost over $85,000. The procurement is specifically for original manufacturer parts and services, with Delta Scientific Corporation being the only authorized provider capable of guaranteeing the equipment's performance. No additional vendors or competitive bidding process is anticipated due to the sole source determination. The contract will be funded by the Oregon Military Department and executed within Clatsop County, focusing on maintaining critical security infrastructure at the Camp Rilea Armed Forces Training Center.
