This is a Notice of Intent to award a sole source contract from Marion County Board of County Commissioners Procurement Services in Ocala, Florida for PHi-Continuous Air Mixer Systems, Parts and Rebuild Kits. Marion County intends to bypass the standard competitive solicitation process and award the contract directly to FJ Nugent & Associates as the single source supplier. The notice was posted for public review from December 30, 2025 through January 7, 2026, as required by Florida Statute 287.057 and the Marion County Procurement Manual. This posting is not a request for bids or proposals; rather, it serves as notification that interested vendors may submit documentation demonstrating their ability to provide equivalent commodities or services to compete for the contract. No solicitation document is available, and any responses received will be considered only to determine whether bona fide competition exists in the marketplace.

The procurement seeks the C3ND PHi-Continuous Air mixer systems along with associated parts and rebuild kits. No specific pricing terms, quantities, or contract term details are provided in this notice. The sole source designation appears justified based on the specialized nature of the equipment and FJ Nugent & Associates' established capability to supply these systems. Interested alternative suppliers must provide sufficient detailed documentation within the five-day posting period to demonstrate their capacity to supply equivalent products.
