Sole Source- Master Price Agreement- SHI Reseller- POSIT Team

The Oregon Department of Human Services is procuring continued licensing, maintenance, and potential expansion of the Posit Team software through a sole-source modification under the DAS Master Price Agreement #PO-10700-00014971 with SHI International Corp., the state-authorized reseller. This acquisition is justified under Oregon state statutes and administrative rules, specifically ORS 279B.075(2)(a) and OAR 125-247-0691, due to the proprietary and irreplaceable nature of Posit Team’s integration with ODHS’s existing analytics infrastructure, including Snowflake, R, and Python environments. The software is essential for enterprise-level data analytics, predictive modeling, and machine learning operations within the Office of Reporting, Research, Analysis and Implementation, enabling secure collaboration, reproducible research, centralized package governance, and seamless interoperability without requiring costly system redevelopment. The contract is awarded without competition, with no formal evaluation factors or competitive bidding process applicable. The estimated contract value is $300,000, covering initial and potential future purchases such as expanded licensing, training, or maintenance not otherwise included in the master agreement. Performance and delivery occur remotely at the agency’s location in Salem, Oregon, with no physical packaging, marking, or FOB terms required due to the digital nature of the deliverables. The agency retains the right to issue additional task orders under the master agreement, providing flexibility for scalable usage. Contract administration is managed by Procurement Contracting Officer Kirk N. Rhoades and Contract Specialist Enrique Rodriguez, who serves as the primary point of contact for inquiries and submissions. While no formal Contracting Officer’s Representative is designated, vendor coordination is handled through Glenn Klausner of Posit. The contract does not include federal FAR clauses, socioeconomic certifications, unique entity identifiers, security clearance requirements, or formal inspection checklists, instead relying on Oregon-specific regulatory frameworks and functional acceptance criteria tied to technical compatibility and operational continuity. Submissions are accepted through OregonBuys.gov or via mail, email, fax, or hand delivery by the May 23, 2026 deadline.
