SOLE SOURCE NOTICE - Callyo Renewal Subscription

The City of Salem in Marion County, Oregon, is pursuing a sole source procurement for a Callyo renewal subscription from Motorola Solutions Company. This procurement is being conducted under the city's procurement rules, which allow for sole source acquisitions in specific circumstances. The primary good being procured is a software subscription for Callyo, though specific technical details about the product's functionality are not elaborated in the provided documentation. The sole source notice was posted on May 19, 2023, with a response deadline of May 25, 2023, providing a relatively short window for potential protests. Vendors or interested parties wishing to challenge the sole source determination must submit a written protest within 7 days of the initial public notice, accompanied by a $500 certified or cashier's check. The total value of the subscription is $5,241.61, representing a renewal of an existing technology or service agreement.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations were detailed in the provided documentation. The procurement appears to be a straightforward renewal of an existing technology subscription, with no explicit indications of preferences for disadvantaged business enterprises or other special categories of vendors. The incumbent vendor is implied to be Motorola Solutions Company through the Callyo product, though this is not definitively stated. No additional information is provided about existing technological infrastructure or integration requirements. The budget is clearly defined at $5,241.61 for the subscription renewal, representing a relatively modest procurement value. The sole source nature of the procurement suggests that Callyo provides a unique solution that cannot be readily obtained from alternative vendors, though the specific rationale for this determination is not explained in the available documentation.
