Sole Source Notice-Pathfinders Jail Adult Supervision

Clackamas County is pursuing a sole source contract with The Pathfinder Network for an adult supervision services pilot program within community and jail settings. The procurement, initiated under LCRB C-047-0275, is supported by Justice Reinvestment Program grant funding from the Oregon Criminal Justice Commission. The contract aims to leverage The Pathfinder Network's existing infrastructure, specialized staffing, and comprehensive training expertise in adult supervision services. The program's key objectives include providing targeted adult supervision in both community and correctional environments, with a focus on implementing evidence-based intervention strategies. The solicitation requires vendors to demonstrate proven capabilities in adult supervision programs, with specific emphasis on infrastructure, staffing, and programmatic experience. The procurement timeline indicates a notice posted on July 3, 2024, with a protest deadline of July 10, 2024, for potential vendors or interested parties who might challenge the sole source determination.

The sole source notice does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The Pathfinder Network appears to be the incumbent and sole anticipated vendor for this one-year pilot program, given their current operational experience in multiple counties. The contract represents a targeted intervention with a specific scope of service delivery in adult supervision. The estimated contract value is $237,077.00, indicating a relatively focused and time-limited engagement. While additional competitive bidding is not anticipated due to the sole source nature of the procurement, interested parties may seek additional information by contacting Ryan Rice, the Procurement Contract Analyst, for potential clarifications or potential protest considerations.
