Sole Source - Matrix Sciences International

The City of Salem, Oregon is issuing a sole-source public notice for the renewal of stormwater pesticide analysis software to Matrix Sciences International, with an anticipated award date of June 9, 2026 and a protest deadline of June 8, 2026. This is a sole-source determination — vendors other than Matrix Sciences International are ineligible to bid.

The contract value is $5,250 for the software renewal. Any party wishing to protest the sole-source designation must submit a written protest to the City Manager's office at 555 Liberty Street SE, Room 220, Salem, Oregon 97301 within seven calendar days of the first public notice date (June 2, 2026). Protests must be accompanied by a certified or cashier's check for $500, include detailed legal and factual grounds with supporting evidence, describe the resulting harm to the protesting party, and specify the relief sought. Protests submitted after the seven-day deadline are untimely and will not be reviewed.
