SOLE SOURCE NearMap Imagery Annual Subscription

Marion County and the City of Salem are pursuing a sole source procurement for an annual subscription to NearMap imagery, with a targeted contract award date of September 5, 2023. The procurement process involves a public notice issued on August 29, 2023, with a seven-day protest period ending on September 4, 2023. The specific procurement is for geospatial imagery services provided exclusively by NearMap, LLC, which will supply digital aerial imagery for municipal and county planning, mapping, and geographic information system (GIS) purposes. The sole source justification indicates that NearMap's imagery is uniquely available only from their organization, necessitating a direct procurement approach. The total contract value is $30,700 for the annual subscription, with the procurement following Oregon's established sole source procurement protocols that allow for direct awards when a product or service is available from only one source.

There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation mentioned in the documentation. The procurement does not indicate preferences for disadvantaged business enterprises or small business participants. No incumbent vendor details are provided beyond NearMap, LLC being the sole provider of the imagery services. The contract appears to be a straightforward annual subscription for digital imagery without complex integration requirements or detailed technical specifications. The procurement is limited to the jurisdictional boundaries of Marion County and the City of Salem, suggesting a localized geospatial data acquisition strategy. The budget of $30,700 represents the total expected expenditure for the annual subscription, with the contract anticipated to be awarded on September 5, 2023, following the conclusion of the protest period.
