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

Oregon Department of Human Services (ODHS) is entering into a sole-source contract for continued licensing, maintenance, and potential expansion of Posit Team software through DAS Master Price Agreement #PO-10700-00014971 with SHI International Corp., the State-authorized reseller, with a notice posted October 6, 2026 and a seven-calendar-day protest window.

This is a non-competitive procurement. ODHS's Office of Reporting, Research, Analysis and Implementation (ORRAI) determined that Posit Team is the only product combining integrated development, deployment, publishing, and centralized package-management capabilities within a single system while maintaining compatibility with ODHS's existing Snowflake-based analytics infrastructure. Market research established that alternative products lack the required compatibility and would necessitate significant redevelopment of existing analytics pipelines and increased infrastructure overhead. Posit Software, PBC, is the sole manufacturer; SHI International is the only authorized reseller available under the State's Master Price Agreement.

The platform supports enterprise-level data analytics, predictive modeling, and machine-learning operations essential to Agency programs, with native support for R and Python programming languages and integration into ODHS's existing analytics ecosystem.

The estimated total contract value is $325,000. The Agency reserves the right to purchase additional goods and services, including expanded licensing, maintenance, repairs, and training. Kirk N. Rhoades, Designated Procurement Officer, approved the sole-source determination on October 5, 2026. Contract specialist Enrique Rodriguez manages the procurement on behalf of ODHS. Glenn Klausner at Posit Software is the contact for the prospective contractor. Inquiries or protests should be directed to Enrique Rodriguez at the ODHS Office of Contracts and Procurement.
