Sole Source - Power Chevrolet

The City of Salem, Oregon, through a Sole Source Public Notice, is procuring engine repairs for a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado (Unit 11205) from Power Chevrolet, located in Sublimity, Oregon. The procurement is a direct, single-source acquisition specifically for vehicle maintenance services. The total anticipated cost for the repairs is $8,260.33, with a planned award date of October 3, 2023. The procurement process includes a seven-day protest period during which affected parties can submit written objections to the Sole Source determination. Protesters must include a detailed statement of legal and factual grounds, supporting evidence, a description of potential harm, and requested relief, accompanied by a $500 certified or cashier's check to cover protest processing costs. The opportunity is specifically within Marion County's jurisdiction and involves direct municipal vehicle maintenance procurement.

The Sole Source procurement does not indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. No information is provided about disadvantaged enterprise participation or alternative vendor qualifications. The notice does not reference incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure requirements. The procurement appears limited to this specific vehicle repair at a fixed cost of $8,260.33, with Power Chevrolet identified as the sole contractor. The procurement process emphasizes transparency through the public notice and protest mechanism, allowing potential challengers an opportunity to contest the Sole Source determination. While the document provides limited details about broader procurement strategies, it represents a targeted, specific municipal vehicle maintenance acquisition process focused on direct vendor selection and repair services.
