About this file
This document is a notice of intended single source procurement published by the Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind (FSDB) for Phonak and Roger brand hearing aid parts and repair services for fiscal year 2024-2025. FSDB is seeking a sole source provider for these commodities and services, with an estimated not-to-exceed dollar amount of $19,999.99. Phonak U.S. is the intended sole source, as they are the manufacturer and only U.S. provider of Roger products, and they are the only entity equipped and trained to provide ongoing service and maintenance for these products. The public notice is published to comply with statutory requirements, and vendors that believe they can fulfill this need are requested to provide information on their ability to do so within the 15-day advertisement period.
The justification for single source procurement cites Phonak's exclusive manufacturing and service capabilities for the required products and services. No other sources exist for Phonak and Roger hearing aid parts and repair, and using an unauthorized service provider would invalidate the product warranties. Vendors are advised that this is not a competitive solicitation, but rather a notice of FSDB's intent to enter a single source contract.

NOTE: THIS IS NOT A COMPETITIVE SOLICITATION OR REQUEST FOR BIDS. IT IS A "NOTICE OF INTENDED DECISION TO ENTER INTO A SINGLE SOURCE CONTRACT" WHICH IS POSTED PURSUANT TO §287.057(3),F.S. §120.57(3),F.S., AND RULE 60A-1.045,F.A.C.

Performance and/or Design Requirements:
Florida School for the Deaf and the Blind (FSDB) is in need of Phonak and Roger brand hearing aid parts and repair service for FY 2024-2025
Estimated Dollar Amount Not-to-Exceed: $19,999.99 Intended source:
Phonak U.S.
750 North Commons Drive Aurora, IL 60504
Justification for single source acquisition:
Phonak is the manufacturer and the only US source for Roger products. Phonak sells Roger products directly to educational programs and those products may not be resold. Phonak is the only entity equipped and trained to offer ongoing service to educational customers. Service and maintenance on Roger products must be performed by the national service center in Aurora, Illinois. All work completed by the service center allows the customer to retain the required strict compliance with service guidelines using original Phonak replacement parts. Using a service company other than Phonak will invalidate the products’ warranties.
No other source exists for the parts and repair service for Phonak and Roger hearing aid equipment and accessories.
