SOLE SOURCE NOTICE - Purchase of Rosemount Flowmeter Components

Marion County and the City of Salem, Oregon are pursuing a sole source procurement for Rosemount Flowmeter Components from Micro Motion, Inc., located in Boulder, Colorado. The procurement is specifically designed as a sole source acquisition, which means only one vendor will be considered for the contract. The total contract value is estimated at $20,000 annually, with a proposed contract duration of five years. The first date of public notice was April 14, 2023, with a protest deadline of April 20, 2023. Any protests must be submitted in writing to the City Manager's office and must include specific details as outlined in the public notice. Protesters are required to submit a certified or cashier's check for $500 along with their written protest. The anticipated contract award date is April 21, 2023, with the primary objective of acquiring specialized flowmeter components for municipal infrastructure or utility operations.

There are no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on organizational respondents mentioned in the documentation. The sole source nature of the procurement inherently limits competition to Micro Motion, Inc. as the exclusive vendor for these Rosemount Flowmeter Components. The total potential contract value over the five-year period is $100,000 ($20,000 annually). No information is provided about disadvantaged enterprise participation or current incumbent vendors. The procurement appears focused on maintaining existing technological infrastructure by securing components from a specific manufacturer. While the document does not elaborate on integration requirements, the sole source designation suggests these components are critical to existing systems and cannot be easily replaced with alternative manufacturer products.
