Sole Source Notice Only- WhereScape RED and WhereScape 3D software

Oregon Health Authority is entering into a sole-source contract with WhereScape for RED and 3D software licenses, maintenance, and support services for Oregon State Hospital's data warehouse automation, with a protest period closing September 14, 2026. This is a sole-source procurement under ORS 279B.075(2)(a) with no competitive bidding.

The scope covers WhereScape RED and 3D software licenses, maintenance, and support for nightly ETL operations, SQL code generation, data modeling functions, and integration within OSH's existing electronic health record environment. The software has been in continuous use since 2017, with 3D added in 2024. OSH's entire data infrastructure—SQL generation, processing schedules, and automated warehouse modules—is built exclusively on WhereScape's proprietary architecture and cannot be migrated to competing platforms (BigQuery, Snowflake, Google Cloud) without complete infrastructure replacement.

The estimated contract value is $430,000. The determination memo notes that alternative platforms would require reinvestment of $430,000 to $468,000 in infrastructure replacement, plus substantial costs, delays, and operational risk from migration. OSH has invested significant resources in staff training, custom modules, and hosting environments that cannot be transferred.

The sole-source determination justifies the procurement on the ground that efficient utilization of existing goods requires compatible services from only one source. WhereScape is located at 6805 North Capital of Texas Highway, Suite 275, Austin, Texas 78731, with contact Sean Mitchell. Protests to the sole-source determination must be submitted within seven calendar days after the first notice posting on OregonBuys.
