Sole Source - Big Creek Fish Hatchery Manufactured Home

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) is conducting a sole source procurement for a manufactured home to be located at the Big Creek Fish Hatchery in Astoria, Oregon. The specific procurement is for a new, unused Fleetwood Homes Quartzville Model 28583R manufactured home with 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and approximately 1,800 square feet. The home must meet Energy Star NEEM+PLUS certification requirements and will be delivered and installed on a concrete foundation at the hatchery site. Technical specifications mandate detailed requirements for utilities, appliances, windows, doors, and interior and exterior finishes. The contractor must provide a 2-year warranty on the building structure and a 1-year warranty on collateral materials and work. Key deadlines include a protest period ending July 8, 2021, at 2:00 pm, with protests required to be submitted online via OregonBuys or by email. The home must be delivered with a complete floor plan, foundation/anchoring plan, and anticipated delivery and completion date.

This procurement appears to be a direct purchase without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. The sole source determination was justified due to supply chain disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic and increased demand for replacement homes following wildfire events, which prevented a competitive bidding process. The total contract value is $158,384.94, to be paid as a cash transaction with the final payment due prior to completion. The purchase is specifically with Factory Expo Home Centers in Woodburn, Oregon, as the sole vendor. The buyer (ODFW) will be responsible for all site preparation, permitting, utility connections, and home installation, with the home being sold FOB Woodburn, Oregon. Funding for this procurement is available and set to expire in February 2022, making this a time-sensitive acquisition to replace an existing manufactured home that has reached the end of its useful life.
