NOTICE OF AND REQUEST FOR AMENDMENT TO SOLE SOURCE SS 26-0134 - FERNO

The County of Hawaii, through the Hawaii Fire Department, has issued a notice and request for an amendment to a sole source procurement (SS 26-0134A1) related to goods or services from the company Ferno. The solicitation was posted on March 3, 2026, with a response deadline of March 11, 2026. This procurement process allows interested vendors to submit written objections if they oppose the sole source designation. Objections must be uploaded through the OpenGov platform before the deadline, addressed to the Chief Procurement Officer, and must include sufficient justification to be considered valid. Any objections received will place the sole source request on hold while the procurement officer reviews and provides a formal written determination. Vendors are reminded that responses to this notice do not constitute bids, proposals, or quotes. All inquiries regarding the procurement should be directed via email to the Purchasing Division at [email hidden], but objections themselves must be uploaded through OpenGov and not emailed. The point of contact for this solicitation is Michael Lampard, Procurement and Specifications Specialist with the Hawaii Fire Department, based in Hilo, Hawaii. The contracting process emphasizes transparency and due process for vendors who may be impacted by the sole source procurement, ensuring a fair review before proceeding.
