Sole Source AutoCrib Auto Locker

Marion County and the City of Salem, Oregon are pursuing a sole source procurement for an AutoLocker FX Modular Locker System from AutoCrib, located in Tustin, California. The procurement is being conducted through a public notice process that allows for sole source acquisition under local public contracting rules. The specific good being procured is the AutoLocker system, with a total purchase price of $37,235. The procurement timeline is relatively compressed, with the initial public notice posted on August 12, 2021, and a firm deadline for protests of August 18, 2021. Potential protesters must submit a written challenge to the sole source determination to the City Manager's office, accompanied by a $500 certified or cashier's check. The protest must include specific detailed objections to the sole source procurement method. The procurement appears to be a direct purchase without a comprehensive competitive bidding process.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent organizations were identified in the available documentation. The sole source nature of the procurement suggests that AutoCrib is the exclusive or preferred vendor for this specific locker system. No information was provided about incumbent vendors, existing infrastructure requirements, or integration considerations. The total procurement value is clearly defined at $37,235, which represents the complete budget for the AutoLocker FX Modular Locker System. While the document does not elaborate on the specific use or location of the locker system within Marion County or the City of Salem, the sole source notice indicates a specific and targeted procurement approach. The procurement appears to be a straightforward purchase of a specialized locker system with a defined vendor and price point.
