Sole Source - Ingersoll Rand RS30-37N Air Compressor

Marion County, specifically the City located in Salem, Oregon, is pursuing a sole source procurement for an Ingersoll Rand RS30-37N Air Compressor from Ingersoll Rand Industrial US Inc. of Portland, OR. The procurement is being conducted under the City's Public Contracting Rules, Section IV Alternative Source Selection Methods, which permits direct vendor selection in specific circumstances. The total contract value is $42,707.30, with a public notice date of July 22, 2025, and an anticipated award date of July 29, 2025. The procurement process includes a specific protest mechanism that allows affected parties to challenge the sole source determination by submitting a written protest to the City Manager's office within seven days of the public notice. Any protest must include a detailed statement of legal and factual grounds, supporting evidence, a description of potential harm, and the specific relief requested, and must be accompanied by a $500 certified or cashier's check to cover processing costs.

The procurement appears to be a direct purchase without competitive bidding, and there are no explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational respondents mentioned in the documentation. The sole source nature of the procurement suggests that Ingersoll Rand Industrial US Inc. is the only qualified vendor for this specific air compressor model. No information is provided about incumbent vendors, existing infrastructure, or technology integration requirements. The contract value is precisely defined at $42,707.30, which represents the total budgeted amount for the air compressor. If no successful protest is filed within the seven-day window, the city intends to proceed with the direct purchase from the sole source vendor as outlined in the public notice.
