Sole Source - Endress and Hauser

The City of Salem and Marion County, Oregon, are pursuing a sole source procurement for Endress + Hauser parts and equipment through a 5-year renewable agreement. The procurement is specifically focused on acquiring various products and equipment manufactured by Endress + Hauser, with an anticipated contract award date of June 9, 2023. Potential vendors must be aware that this is a sole source determination, which means only Endress + Hauser is eligible to provide these specific goods. The procurement timeline includes a 7-day protest period starting June 2, 2023, during which interested parties can submit challenges to the sole source decision by contacting the City Manager's office. A mandatory $500 processing fee accompanies any protest submission. While specific technical requirements and detailed specifications are not provided in the public notice, the procurement appears to be focused on securing specialized equipment for municipal infrastructure or operational needs.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent organizations are mentioned in the available documentation. The procurement is uniquely structured as a sole source opportunity, effectively limiting competition to a single vendor, Endress + Hauser. The estimated annual contract value is $40,000, with the potential for a 5-year total contract value of approximately $200,000, subject to annual renewals. No information is provided about incumbent vendors, existing technological infrastructure, or integration requirements. Interested parties seeking additional details about the procurement would need to contact the City of Salem's procurement office directly. The sole source nature of this contract suggests that Endress + Hauser provides unique or specialized equipment that cannot be readily obtained from alternative manufacturers or suppliers.
