Sole Source Notice - Cathodic Protection System Replacement (Camp Rilea WTP)

The Oregon Military Department is conducting a sole source procurement for the replacement of a passive cathodic protection (CP) system at the Camp Rilea Water Treatment Plant storage tank. The scope of work includes removal of the existing 15-year-old CP system and installation of a like-for-like original equipment manufacturer (OEM) replacement system, along with testing and commissioning activities. The deliverables encompass complete system replacement, in-service installation using existing tank access ports while maintaining tank operability, and full system commissioning without requiring tank drainage or redesign. Key objectives include mitigating corrosion risk, preventing structural degradation, and extending the asset's operational life. The required qualifications include demonstrated expertise as the original system designer with direct knowledge of the existing configuration, capability to perform in-service replacement without operational disruption, and technical proficiency in passive cathodic protection systems specific to the tank's Fusion configuration. The sole source determination is justified by findings that Corrpro (an Azuria Company) possesses exclusive technical knowledge and is the only vendor capable of providing a compatible replacement without independent redesign or introducing operational and asset protection risks. Market research confirmed no alternative vendors possess the ability to deliver a functionally equivalent system. The protest deadline for affected parties is 2:00 P.M. Pacific Time on Monday, April 20, 2026, with protests submitted to Corey Brech at the Oregon Military Department's Camp Rilea location by hard copy mail or email.

No set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations are specified in the procurement documents, and no disadvantaged enterprise requirements are indicated. Corrpro (an Azuria Company) is identified as the incumbent vendor and original system designer, holding exclusive rights to provide the replacement system due to proprietary knowledge and OEM compatibility requirements. The existing infrastructure consists of the Camp Rilea Water Treatment Plant storage tank with a Fusion configuration, which limits viable replacement approaches to passive systems only and requires integration with the current tank design and existing access port infrastructure. The State lacks sufficient as-built drawings, design calculations, and performance data to enable third-party contractors to reliably design a functionally equivalent system, further supporting the sole source determination. The estimated total contract value is $36,825.00, based on Corrpro's OEM proposal number OR-25-071-GALV dated September 8, 2025. Scaffolding and temporary access systems are explicitly excluded from this procurement scope and will be procured separately through alternative methods.
