2-Request for Information Questionnaire.docx

This is a Request for Information (RFI) Questionnaire issued by a Florida county jurisdiction to determine vendor capability for supplying Samsung container gantry crane parts and maintenance services for the Port Everglades Department. The RFI seeks to establish whether the specified commodity and services are available from multiple providers or if alternative solutions exist that would meet the County's operational requirements. The questionnaire requires prospective vendors to confirm their ability to supply Samsung proprietary parts designed and manufactured by the original equipment manufacturer, maintain critical parts inventory for Samsung container gantry cranes, and deliver comprehensive maintenance services to ensure service continuity at Port Everglades. Vendors must submit responses through the BPRO Requested Information section with relevant specifications and supporting documentation demonstrating their qualifications and product offerings.

This RFI is issued as a Notice of Intent to Designate Sole Source/Sole Brand and explicitly states that this is not a request for pricing or a purchase commitment. The questionnaire is designed to inform the County's procurement strategy regarding potential sole-source justification or the availability of competitive alternatives. No specific contract term, renewal options, response deadlines, award dates, or pricing information is indicated in this questionnaire document. Vendors are expected to provide detailed information about their capacity to supply OEM parts and maintain service continuity, which will be evaluated as part of the County's determination process.
