Sole source - gobel sampson

The City of Moro, located in Oregon, is executing a sole source procurement for peristaltic pump factory reconditioning services from Watson-Marlow, represented by Gobel Sampson, located in Wilmington, Massachusetts. The procurement is specifically focused on factory reconditioning of existing peristaltic pumps, with the original equipment manufacturer being the sole source provider for these specialized services. The total contract value is $5,092.91, with an anticipated award date of December 21, 2022. The procurement process includes a public notice period and a mechanism for potential protests, which requires written submission to the City Manager's office within 7 days of the first public notice date. Interested parties must accompany any protest with a $500 certified or cashier's check to cover processing costs.

This procurement appears to be a direct sole source contract with no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor types. The contract is limited to a specific manufacturer's reconditioning services, which suggests highly specialized equipment requiring original manufacturer intervention. No information is provided about disadvantaged enterprise participation or alternative vendor qualifications. The contract represents a relatively small investment of $5,092.91, indicating a targeted, specific service requirement rather than a broad infrastructure or technology replacement project. The procurement is being handled directly by the City of Moro, with the services focused on maintaining existing equipment through factory-authorized reconditioning by the original equipment manufacturer.
