Sole Source - DJI Matrice 30T (Basic) Drones with Accessories, DJI Mini 2 Drones and 2-Day Part 107

The state and local contract opportunity involves a sole source procurement by Multnomah County and the City of Salem in Oregon for specialized drone equipment and training. The specific procurement includes DJI Matrice 30T (Basic) Drones with accessories, DJI Mini 2 Drones, and a comprehensive 2-Day Part 107 Training Class. The solicitation was posted on May 19, 2022, with a submission deadline of May 25, 2022, and the procurement will be executed through General Pacific, Inc., located in Fairview, Oregon. The contract opportunity requires vendors to provide high-quality drone technology and associated training, likely for municipal operations such as public safety, infrastructure inspection, or emergency management. The sole source notice outlines a specific procurement process that allows potential affected parties to submit written protests within 7 days of the first public notice, which must be accompanied by a $500 certified or cashier's check to cover protest processing costs.

The procurement appears to be an unrestricted opportunity without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged businesses. The total anticipated award amount is $57,037, representing a moderate-sized technology and training investment for the participating jurisdictions. The contract does not explicitly detail integration requirements with existing infrastructure or technology, though the procurement of specific drone models suggests potential compatibility considerations. The sole source nature of the procurement indicates that General Pacific, Inc. is the preferred or sole qualified vendor for these specific drone models and training services. The anticipated award date is May 26, 2022, which suggests a relatively quick turnaround from solicitation to contract execution. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or alternative suppliers for the specified drone equipment and training services.
