Sole Source - 5' diameter Rotating Screw Trap cone

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) is conducting a sole source procurement for a 5' diameter Rotating Screw Trap cone to be delivered to their East Region Fish Research facility located in La Grande, Oregon. This procurement is specifically for a single component needed to maintain the operational status of existing Rotary Screw Traps, which are critical to meeting the agency's research and monitoring obligations. The contract will be awarded directly to EG Solutions, who has been identified as the sole manufacturer of these specialized Rotary Screw Traps with over 30 years of exclusive manufacturing capabilities. The procurement is being conducted pursuant to Oregon Revised Statute 279B.075 and Oregon Administrative Rule 125-247-0275, which allows for sole source acquisitions under specific circumstances. The contract opportunity was posted on December 8, 2023, with a final due date of December 15, 2023, indicating a compressed timeline for this procurement. The primary deliverable is the specific 5' Rotary Screw Trap Cone, which will be used to replace a non-functional component in the agency's existing research equipment.

This procurement does not include any specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation, as it is a targeted sole source acquisition limited to a single vendor. The contract is geographically focused on Umatilla County, Oregon, with the delivery destination being the ODFW's East Region Fish Research facility. While the exact contract value is redacted in the provided documentation, this appears to be a targeted, low-value procurement for a specific equipment component. No incumbent vendors other than EG Solutions are mentioned, and there are no explicit requirements for technology integration or additional infrastructure adaptations. The sole source determination is based entirely on EG Solutions' unique manufacturing capabilities for this specific type of Rotary Screw Trap component. The procurement represents a direct, streamlined acquisition method designed to quickly replace a critical piece of research equipment with a manufacturer-specific part.
