The City of Salem, located in Marion County, Oregon, is pursuing a sole source procurement for annual maintenance of an ATX G2 Fire Alerting System for Salem Fire Stations. US Digital Designs from Tempe, Arizona, is the prospective contractor for this technology maintenance contract. The procurement will be conducted under the city's Public Contracting Rules, specifically utilizing a sole source procurement method. The public notice was first issued on 6/25/25, with an anticipated contract award date of 7/2/25. Potential vendors or protesters must adhere to strict procedural requirements, including submitting a written protest to the City Manager's office within seven days of the public notice. Any protest must be accompanied by a $500 certified or cashier's check and must include a detailed statement of legal and factual grounds, supporting evidence, a description of potential harm, and requested relief.

The contract appears to be exclusively available to US Digital Designs, with no apparent set-aside designations or opportunities for other vendors to compete. The contract value is precisely $52,168.44 for the annual maintenance of the fire alerting system. No specific information is provided about disadvantaged enterprise participation or integration requirements with existing infrastructure. The sole source determination suggests that US Digital Designs possesses unique capabilities or proprietary technology critical to maintaining the ATX G2 Fire Alerting System that cannot be provided by alternative vendors. The procurement process emphasizes a rigid protocol for any potential challenges, with explicit instructions that untimely or improperly submitted protests will be summarily dismissed.
