Sole Source** Hearing Conservation Testing

The City of Oregon is pursuing a sole source procurement for Hearing Conservation Testing, with Anadyne, LLC of Milwaukie, Oregon identified as the intended contractor. The procurement will be conducted under the City's Public Contracting Rules, specifically Section IV Alternative Source Selection Methods, with a planned contract award date of May 6, 2025. The contract is structured for a 5-year renewable term with an annual value of $20,000. The procurement process includes provisions for potential protests, requiring written submissions within seven days of the public notice, accompanied by a $500 certified or cashier's check to cover processing costs. Protesters must provide a detailed statement of legal and factual grounds, supporting evidence, a description of potential harm, and specific relief requested. The public notice was initially posted on April 29, 2025, initiating the procurement timeline.

The solicitation appears to be a non-restricted procurement without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Anadyne, LLC is the sole identified vendor for this hearing conservation testing contract, suggesting a unique capability or proprietary solution that justifies the sole source selection. The contract's annual value of $20,000 indicates a relatively modest engagement focused on specialized hearing conservation services. No specific infrastructure integration requirements or technology constraints are explicitly mentioned in the documentation. The procurement allows for potential vendor protests, which provides a mechanism for other potential vendors to challenge the sole source selection if they believe they can provide equivalent services. The seven-day protest window and the $500 processing fee represent procedural safeguards to manage potential competitive challenges to the sole source procurement method.
