Sole Source- Master Price Agreement- SHI Reseller- POSIT Team

The Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS), through the Office of Reporting, Research, Analysis and Implementation (ORRAI), is procuring continued licensing, maintenance, and potential expansion of Posit Team software through a sole-source procurement mechanism via DAS Master Price Agreement #PO-10700-00014971 with SHI International Corp., the State-authorized reseller. The procurement addresses the Agency's requirement for an enterprise-level data analytics, predictive modeling, and machine-learning platform essential to support critical Agency programs. Posit Team delivers an integrated data-science environment that provides data management, statistical analysis, quality assurance, predictive model development, machine-learning workflow deployment, dashboard publication, API creation, analytic reporting, and secure collaboration capabilities. The platform natively supports both R and Python programming languages and integrates seamlessly with ODHS's existing Snowflake-based analytics infrastructure. Market research conducted by ODHS confirmed that Posit Team is the only product combining development, deployment, publishing, and governance tools within a single integrated environment while maintaining compatibility with the Agency's established analytics ecosystem. The procurement is due by May 22, 2026, and no bidders' conference, site visit, or formal response deadline has been specified beyond the contract posting date of May 15, 2026. Protests to this sole-source determination must be submitted within seven calendar days after the first posting date on OregonBuys to Enrique Rodriguez, Contract Specialist, at the ODHS Office of Contracts and Procurement.

This is a sole-source procurement with no set-aside designations or restrictions on organization types that can respond, as SHI International Corp. is the only authorized reseller available under the State's Master Price Agreement and Posit is the sole manufacturer of the platform. The Agency has identified no competing products that meet the integrated functionality requirements without necessitating significant redevelopment of existing analytics pipelines and increased infrastructure overhead costs. ODHS reserves the right to purchase additional goods and services, including expanded licensing, maintenance, repairs, and training beyond the initial scope. The estimated total contract value is $300,000. The incumbent vendor and current contractor is SHI International Corp., operating under the existing State Master Price Agreement, and the required technology integration involves Snowflake-based analytics infrastructure compatibility.
