SOLE SOURCE NOTICE-CINTAS

Salem Area Mass Transit District (SAMTD) is issuing a sole‑source procurement for the rental of High‑Voltage Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). The agency has determined that CINTAS is the only U.S. provider capable of delivering the required PPE on a rental basis together with maintenance and repair services, and therefore will not purchase the equipment outright. The solicitation calls for a single rental unit (EA) of the specified PPE, with no unit price disclosed in the notice. The contract will be awarded directly to CINTAS under an open‑market purchase method, and electronic quotes are permitted. • Scope: Rental (including maintenance/repair) of High‑Voltage PPE, quantity 1, “EA – Each”. • Sole‑source justification: CINTAS is the sole national supplier offering rental of this specific PPE with required support. • No pre‑bid conference or site visit; the procurement is classified as “OPEN” but awarded without competition. • Procurement details: Bid opening scheduled for 03/11/2026 08:00 AM; electronic quoting allowed; no budget or price information disclosed. • Primary contact: Purchaser Kim Leeker ([email protected], (503) 588‑2424).
