The New York State Olympic Regional Development Authority (ORDA) is entering into a proposed agreement with Amer Sports Winter & Outdoor Company (ASWO) for the purchase of Nordic rental equipment to be used at its facilities located at Mt. Van Hoevenberg and Gore Mountain. ORDA is entering into the proposed agreement on a single source procurement basis as it is in ORDA's best interests because: (i) ASWO is the parent company for the Nordic ski brand Salomon and ORDA and the State of New York will realize cost savings by having a fleet of uniform Nordic rental equipment due to, among other things, the ability to perform maintenance and repairs to the equipment by swapping/borrowing parts/bindings from the same equipment in ORDA’s inventory; and (ii) ASWO was selected due to limited supply chain and the unavailability of other vendors, including Fischer USA and Rossignol USA, to provide the desired Nordic rental equipment. Reason for advertising exemption: Single Source Award recipient: Amer Sport Winter & Outdoor Company Any questions or comments regarding this notice of sole-source, single-source, or procurement otherwise exempt from advertising in the NYS Contract Reporter should be directed to the contact person listed for the contracting agency or public authority.
