Sole Source Gun and Radar Locker

The City of North Bend, Oregon, is pursuing a sole source procurement for a Long Gun Locker and Radar Gun Compartment through a public notice issued on August 5, 2021, with a response deadline of August 11, 2021. The contract opportunity appears to be specifically targeted at acquiring specialized equipment for law enforcement storage and equipment management. The intended vendor for this procurement is Traka Akka Abloy, located in Orlando, Florida, indicating a direct, non-competitive acquisition process. The procurement involves the purchase of specialized storage solutions designed to securely house long guns and radar equipment, potentially for police or municipal law enforcement use. Potential vendors or interested parties who wish to protest the sole source determination must submit written objections to the City Manager's office within 7 days of the initial public notice, and must accompany their protest with a $500 certified or cashier's check.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly specify set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The total contract value is listed at $36,217, which represents the anticipated cost for the Long Gun Locker and Radar Gun Compartment. No specific information is provided about disadvantaged enterprise participation or integration requirements with existing infrastructure or technology. The sole source nature of the procurement suggests that Traka Akka Abloy has been identified as the sole or preferred vendor for these specific storage solutions. While the document provides limited details about the precise specifications of the gun locker and radar gun compartment, the procurement appears focused on acquiring specialized, secure storage equipment for law enforcement purposes. The brief timeline between the posting date (August 5, 2021) and response deadline (August 11, 2021) indicates an expedited procurement process.
