This is a sole source letter related to Hillsborough County's procurement for Huber Parts, Maintenance, and Installation Services. The county intends to award a sole source contract to Huber Technology, Inc., the original equipment manufacturer, for continued maintenance, parts, and installation services for existing Huber equipment through January 31, 2031. The equipment includes two Huber belt screen EscaMax 500x952x3.5 units, two Huber screening wash press WAP 2 units, and two Huber-RotoMat Schneckenpresse Q-Press 800 units. The procurement is being made under Section 3-205(2)(e) of the County's Procurement Policy, which permits sole source awards for proprietary equipment maintenance and services provided by the original equipment manufacturer. Contractors who believe they can provide substantially and materially equivalent goods or services may submit challenges to the intended award through the EUNA Procurement (formerly Bonfire) submission section, with all challenges due by the stated close date.

The total contract value is $636,810.00 covering the entire term through January 31, 2031. The award is based on Huber Quote No. 75000215. The county reserves the right to extend the contract period, adjust the scope of services based on changing conditions and updated requirements, and increase the award value accordingly. The county will review any properly submitted challenges to determine whether bona fide competition exists before making the final award.
