SOLE SOURCE- Millenium for Frame and Tray Assembly

Cuyahoga County has issued a sole source solicitation for the procurement of eight MPACS 200 Frame and Tray Assemblies from Millennium Access Control Technology Inc. The total value of the purchase is not to exceed 26,716.00 dollars, with funding provided by the General Fund. These patented units are designed for installation in correctional facilities by Public Works and Iron Workers to replace outdated food pass doors. The system is intended to enhance staff safety during high-risk operations, including inmate cuffing, chemical agent dispersal, and medication delivery, by eliminating direct staff-inmate contact and preventing the transfer of contraband. The procurement is conducted as a sole source acquisition due to the proprietary nature of the technology and a lack of viable market alternatives. The award is based on the vendor's ability to provide a patented dual-lock, ratchet-sliding tray mechanism that meets specific operational security requirements. The solicitation was posted on March 4, 2025, with a response deadline of March 10, 2025. Performance will take place at Cuyahoga County facilities in Ohio, and acceptance is contingent upon the functional verification of the units' safety and security capabilities.
