BidPulsar Analysis

A practical, capture-style breakdown of fit, requirements, risks, and next steps.

Updated: Feb 22, 2026
Executive summary

The City of Salem posted a notice titled “Sole Source - Sea Western Fire Apparatus & Equipment,” with a response deadline of 2022-05-11 17:00 UTC. The description contains only the title text, indicating this is likely a sole-source justification or sole-source purchase action rather than a competitive solicitation. With no attachments, scope details, or solicitation number provided, bidders should treat this as a low-information notice and focus on confirming whether responses are actually accepted and from whom (e.g., the named supplier). If your firm is not Sea Western (or the authorized distributor/manufacturer for the referenced equipment), the practical path is to engage as an alternate source inquiry rather than preparing a full bid.

What the buyer is trying to do

Execute a sole-source procurement for Sea Western fire apparatus and/or fire equipment for the City of Salem by the stated deadline, likely to secure a specific make/model/compatibility requirement tied to existing fleet/equipment.

FAQ

How do I use the Market Snapshot?

It summarizes awarded-contract behavior for the opportunity’s NAICS and sector, including a recent pricing band (P10–P90), momentum, and composition. Use it as context, not a guarantee.

Is the data live?

The signal updates as new awarded notices enter the system. Always validate the official award and solicitation details on SAM.gov.

What do P10 and P90 mean?

P10 is the 10th percentile award size and P90 is the 90th percentile. Together they describe the typical spread of award values.
