This is a re-solicitation notice issued by the Marion County Board of County Commissioners, Procurement Services, in Ocala, Florida, for slide-out trays used in emergency and rescue vehicles. The procurement seeks to identify qualified vendors capable of providing slide-out trays that support standardized equipment configuration and ensure continuity of operations across the Marion County Fire Rescue fleet. These trays are designed to securely store and protect rescue equipment during transport and deployment. The re-solicitation posting period runs from April 29, 2026, through May 6, 2026, with a minimum posting duration of five business days. No specific quantities, site visits, or bidder conferences are mentioned in the notice. The re-solicitation is being conducted in anticipation of Marion County Procurement policy changes requiring existing sole source designations to be reviewed and re-solicited at least once every five years.

M&M Extendo LLC is currently designated as the sole source provider for this commodity. This re-solicitation serves to verify whether qualified alternative vendors can provide equivalent products or services while maintaining competitive procurement principles, as required by Florida Statute 287.057(3)(c) and the Marion County Procurement Manual. Interested vendors must submit supporting documentation during the posting period to demonstrate their capability to provide comparable goods or services. If no qualified alternatives are identified through this re-solicitation process, the County may reaffirm the existing sole source designation with M&M Extendo LLC. Vendors should direct inquiries and submissions to Carrisa Crawford at carrisa.crawford@marionfl.org.
