Sole Source - Pacific Service Center

The City of Salem and Marion County are pursuing a sole source procurement for the upfitting of a 2023 Dodge Promaster Van for the Salem Fire Department, with Pacific Service Center in Portland, Oregon identified as the prospective contractor. The procurement is specifically focused on vehicle modification services, with an anticipated contract award date of September 28, 2023. The total contract value is estimated at $12,231 for the vehicle modification services. The procurement follows a sole source procurement method, which requires a specific public notice and protest period. Interested parties have seven days from September 21, 2023, to submit a written protest, which must include a detailed statement of legal and factual grounds, supporting evidence, a description of potential harm, and specific relief requested. Any protest must be accompanied by a $500 certified or cashier's check to cover protest processing costs.

The procurement appears to be an unrestricted opportunity without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises or small businesses. No incumbent vendor information beyond Pacific Service Center is provided in the documentation. The sole source nature of the procurement suggests that Pacific Service Center has been determined to be the only viable vendor capable of providing the specific vehicle upfitting services required by the Salem Fire Department. The procurement is limited to Marion County and the City of Salem jurisdictions, with no indication of additional geographic expansion or multi-agency participation. The contract value of $12,231 represents a relatively modest procurement focused on specialized vehicle modification services for emergency response equipment.
