BidPulsar Analysis
A practical, capture-style breakdown of fit, requirements, risks, and next steps.
This is a Sole Source Public Notice for an ARMORERLINK FMS annual subscription for the Salem Police, with a stated amount of $6,600 and a prospective contractor identified as ARMORERLINK (Hillsboro, OR). The first date of public notice is 1/14/26, with an anticipated award date of 1/21/26, and protests must be delivered within seven (7) days after the first date of public notice along with a $500 certified/cashier’s check. The practical path for most firms is not to propose a substitute solution but to evaluate whether you qualify as an “affected person” able to credibly challenge the sole-source determination within the protest window. If you are ARMORERLINK (or an authorized reseller/agent with rights), this is primarily a compliance/confirmation action rather than a competitive bid.
Purchase an annual subscription to ARMORERLINK FMS for Salem Police via a sole-source procurement, unless a timely protest successfully challenges the determination that the requirement is available from only one source.
