BACKGROUND
The Orange County Sanitation District (OC San) OEM Sole Source List displays approved original equipment manufacturers (OEM) by the Board added on a quarterly basis that require sole source procurement to maintain, service, or replace equipment currently in operation at District facilities, because the parts and/or service can only be provided by the OEM or their designated representative.
The List has been recently reviewed for updates and changes to OEMs by all department managers. The removals listed are due to an increase of bid thresholds, where a sole source no longer applies, obsolete equipment or the parts/services are no longer utilized at OC San.
RELEVANT STANDARDS
• Ensure that the public’s money is wisely spent

PRIOR COMMITTEE/BOARD ACTIONS
December 2016 - Minute Order 12(b) authorized the General Manager to ratify additions or deletions to the OEM Sole Source list on the General Manager’s quarterly approved purchases agenda report.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Other adjustments made to the OEM List include combining sole sources of the same manufacturer approved at different times but for different equipment/services. Staff also re-evaluated the OEM distributors, if any, and obtained updated sole source letters that declare whether that distributor was still their sole authorized distributor. If distributors changed, staff updated the list to show the correct distributor. Moving forward, staff will audit the OEM List on a regular basis and ensure that sole source letters are no older than three years.
