Teleflex sole source

The City of Salem, Oregon is pursuing a sole source procurement for an EZ-IO Intraosseous Vascular Access System from Teleflex, a medical equipment manufacturer located in Morrisville, North Carolina. This procurement is being conducted under the city's adopted Public Contracting Rules, specifically as a sole source acquisition, which indicates that this specialized medical equipment system is uniquely available from a single vendor. The contract is structured as a 5-year renewable agreement, with the current procurement cycle running from August 5, 2025, to August 12, 2025. Interested parties have a seven-day window to submit formal protests, which must be accompanied by a $500 certified check and include detailed legal and factual grounds, supporting documentation, a description of potential harm, and requested relief. The procurement process requires written protests to be submitted within seven days of the public notice date, with specific requirements for documentation and justification.

The contract appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The sole source nature of the procurement suggests that Teleflex is the exclusive provider of the EZ-IO Intraosseous Vascular Access System, effectively limiting competition. The contract value is set at $15,000 per year over the 5-year renewable term, totaling a potential $75,000 for the complete contract period. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure requirements for integration. The procurement is specifically for a medical equipment system, which implies that respondents would need specialized medical technology expertise, though no explicit qualifications are detailed in the available documentation. The City of Salem is the primary jurisdiction managing this procurement, with the contract focused on acquiring a specialized medical device for municipal healthcare services.
