Sole Source - Basic K9 Handler Course - Registration Fees

The City of Salem, located in Marion County, Oregon, is pursuing a sole source procurement for a Basic K9 Handler Course through a registration fee contract with Adlerhorst International, LLC. The procurement is specifically for professional law enforcement training, focusing on K9 handler certification and skills development. The total contract value is $5,700, with an anticipated award date of October 4, 2022. Potential vendors or interested parties have seven days from the initial public notice date of September 27, 2022, to submit a written protest, which must include specific details and be accompanied by a $500 certified or cashier's check to cover protest processing costs. The procurement appears to be directly targeted at providing specialized training for law enforcement K9 units, with the course presumably covering essential handler techniques, dog management, and operational protocols. Interested parties must adhere to the strict protest timeline and submission requirements outlined in the sole source notice.

The procurement does not explicitly detail any set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. No information is provided about disadvantaged enterprise participation or specific vendor qualifications beyond the sole source selection of Adlerhorst International, LLC. The contract appears to be a straightforward training registration without complex integration requirements or existing technological infrastructure considerations. The total contract value of $5,700 suggests a relatively modest engagement focused on a specific training course for municipal law enforcement personnel. While the notice provides limited additional context, it indicates the procurement is specific to the City of Salem and potentially other Salem jurisdictions within Marion County, Oregon. The sole source designation implies that Adlerhorst International, LLC is considered the sole or most qualified provider for this specific K9 handler training course.
