Procurement Exemption for ABEL pumps and parts from PumpTech Northwest

Pierce County is exercising its authority under Chapter 2.106 of its code to directly negotiate the procurement of ABEL pumps and parts from PumpTech Northwest, identifying this vendor as the sole source due to unique product specifications, specialized facilities, or market conditions that preclude competitive bidding. This solicitation, identified as 2026-PE-196, is not an open competition and does not accept formal bids or proposals; however, vendors are invited to submit capability statements detailing their qualifications to support the County’s needs. The opportunity was posted on July 31, 2026, with a response deadline of August 14, 2026, and is managed by the Procurement and Contract Services department under the State of Washington. All communications and submissions must be directed to Andrew Robson, Contract and Monitoring Manager, via email or phone provided, and the procurement will be executed within Pierce County, Washington, with performance expected to occur locally. The process is structured to ensure compliance with procurement exemptions while maintaining transparency through public notice.
