Procurement Exemption for Victaulic Wearable Parts

Pierce County, Washington is soliciting capability statements for a directly negotiated sole-source purchase of Victaulic wearable and maintenance replacement parts for an Orbital Grooving Tool at the Chambers Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant, with statements due August 11, 2026 at 4:00 p.m.

This is a sole-source procurement exemption. Pierce County has determined that only OEM parts meeting required specifications are suitable for the discontinued Orbital Grooving Tool. Victaulic, as the original equipment manufacturer, is identified as the entity authorized to supply these parts. Any vendor believing it can meet the need must submit a capability statement demonstrating authorization by Victaulic to sell OEM parts and components or the ability to provide replacement components matching required specifications. If a submitted capability statement demonstrates capability to meet the County's need, the public notice will be cancelled and the County will proceed with competitive procurement.

The estimated total cost is $115,000 over a 12-month procurement exemption period. Responses must be submitted electronically through the Pierce County procurement portal. Questions are due August 4, 2026. Contact Andrew Robson, Pierce County Finance Department, at (253) 798-7456 or through the OpenGov platform.
