Sole Source - US Digital Designs

The City of Salem, located in Marion County, Oregon, is pursuing a sole source procurement for an ATX G2 Fire Alerting System from US Digital Designs, a vendor based in Tempe, Arizona. The contract opportunity, posted on June 7, 2023, with a due date of June 13, 2023, involves the acquisition of a specialized fire alerting system with a total contract value of $41,228.08. The anticipated contract award date is June 14, 2023. Potential vendors or interested parties have seven days from the public notice date to submit a written protest to the City Manager's office, which must be accompanied by a $500 certified or cashier's check to cover processing costs. The procurement appears to be specifically tailored to the City of Salem's fire department technology needs, though the exact technical specifications and system requirements are not detailed in the available documentation.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly outline set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The sole source nature of the procurement suggests that US Digital Designs is the only vendor capable of providing the specific ATX G2 Fire Alerting System, though the justification for this determination is not provided in the available documents. No information is presented regarding disadvantaged enterprise participation or specific vendor qualifications beyond the selection of US Digital Designs. The contract appears focused on serving the City of Salem and potentially other local jurisdictions within Marion County. The total contract value of $41,228.08 represents the identified budget for this technology procurement, with the system presumably intended to enhance fire department communication and alerting capabilities.
